Moved to this house about a year ago.I had never watered this conifier
before. Is this why it is browning ?

I am starting watering it now. Is it too late ? or do i need to cut
the brown bits out ?


I'd bet on spider mite, although it may be something else. Either way it's
not going to get better.
