I planted 24 thujas from Lowes about 3 weekes ago and they are slowly
turning brown. I watered them about once a day once every two days for
the past 3 weeks and now I water them twice a day (early morning and
evening). Not all of them have this problem but at least half (12).
Few of them were planted close to large oak tree but I don't see any
connection between location where it was planted. They get about 3-5
hours of full sun.

All help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Jack were these Thuja all in pots and were they a bit pot bound?
Have they ever been stored near a road way before you bought them?
Ive seen this before when theres heavy traffic close by the salt from
the roads does them no good at all, other than that i would score a
small
mark into base bark of tree to see if the layer is bright green still,
if so they may just be a bit stressed and will improve, oh wots the
soil ph?
