    Cutting them back will encourage them to get larger next year, but it really is not necessary.

    I live in Zone 4 also, and I have stonecrop throughout my garden. I have good luck using a light fish emulsion fertilizer once a month on my plants.

    It is likely a fungus. Treat the tree with a fungicide such as neem oil.

    That is largely a personal decision. Some opt not to cut it back because they find that the flowers, which can remain on the plants well into early winter, add dimension and interest to the succulents even as they dry. You are fine either way!
