    One very popular choice is Emerald green Arborvitae. There is also a dwarf cultivar of the same. Other choices are sky pencil holly and Jantar cedar, Hikoni cypress and slender Hikoni cypress. I hope one of these meets your needs and soil conditions. If you'll be investing a lot of money in these, spend a few dollars more and get a soil test first. You want your plant to match the soil and you want to amend the soil before planting if you have any deficiencies.

    Yes, aka Taxus, grows in shade although the growth rate in deep dark shade is slow. This shrub is widely available and dwarf varieties exist.

    This is usually an infection in the soil. This can be corrected, simply, by dusting wettable sulfur over the soil around the tree according to the instructions on the package. This will usually stop the spread, but they may never have growth at that spot again. They will have to be pruned and shaped to deal with the injury. Over time, with this treatment, it will recover on its own, and the spread will stop completely.

    A good quality potting mix for container plants is best for this plant.

    This is often related to a fungal infection. You can cure this, but the old growth will never recover, and it is likely that there will not be much new growth in dead spots. But it will stop the spread of the infection, and new growth will be unaffected.

    Wettable sulfur is the easiest treatment. If you fear that the soil is already highly acidic, then you may want to add just a little dolomitic lime, a quarter handful per tree, to keep the pH from swinging too low from treatment.
