I have 2 conifers about 20 feet apart with patches of their needles
turning red. One is a weeping bald cypress, the other is a dwarf
alberta spruce. I see no sign of insects. I have sprayed them with a
3 in 1 product called Safer, but the areas continue to spread. Are
these trees goners? Thanks in advance.


Are they receiving enough water? It would help to know the age of the
trees and where they're located.


I live in Northern Va. zone 7. They are both about 5 years old. They
are in full sun. They may not be getting enough water. I only
water them if we don't have any rain. Thanks.
