I live in the Chicago area and have a couple of questions regarding Cedars.

I have quite a few Cedar Evergreen Trees on my property and for the past two
weeks I have noticed quite a few branch tips have turned brown. I never saw
this before and I see it in my older Cedars and the young ones alike. What
causes this?

While on the subject of Cedars, what is the best way to propagate them? I like
them allot and would like to start more from possible some branch "tip" cuttings
and rooting hormone powder. Is this the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance for any advice. I love these Cedar Trees and have had them for
a bit over 20 years since my Dad brought them as "babies" to me where he used to
fish. These are the Cedars that are seen so commonly along the roadsides/highways.
Should these be fertilized or sprayed every year?

Thanks again!

Lou
