from The Space Boss contains these words:

I just had some cypress trees dry out and die on my property. I was
told it was a root fungus, but who knows, because two other arborists
told me something completely different.
But I got to thinking, these particular trees I once had to water by
hand since the sprinklers weren't working for a while. And when I was
watering them, it wasn't just at the base, I was also spraying water
up into the tree itself, into the bark, etc.

Oh dear.

Could it be that this somehow washed away a protective coating or
something that caused them to die?

Undoubtedly. Back in the old times, trees' protective coating aka
"bark" could stand up to any amount of rain without getting washed off,
but these days God knows who is responsible for applying it..some bunch
of monkeys, probably.
