Our property borders a farmyard and along one edge grows some sort
of evergreen conifer hedge about 7 feet tall...some of it is as
green as could be and has a lot of new season growth showing, but
part of it...in the middle and about 7 or 8 feet in length appears
to be if not dead, then certainly unwell...it is all brown and
shows no new growth this season.

As I understand it the brown branches are in the middle of the
hedge where no sun can reach. Is that correct? If so, that is very
normal for conifers. The only parts that will show life are the
outer most branches that can reach the sun. If you are talking
about branches that have access to the sun then that is another
kettle of fish.

Mister Compost Nut you cut off my response to the OP but you left my
name and you make it look like I am the OP.

My response to the OP was that this is not a binary group and that may
be why the picture he attached did not show up.
Hey, sorry Travis. I see what you mean...oops. It was not intentional. I'm
now thinking I should respond to the first post and not subsequent ones as I
did. That should keep things straight.
