I'm not exactly sure which group to post this in. I can't find a tree-only
group.

I've got a bald cypruss that has was transplanted into my backyard a little
over 2 years ago. It is about 15 feet tall right now and has always been
healthy. (I'm just NE of Ft. Worth, TX)

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed many brown/dead leaves on it. It seems to be
moving from the bottom to the top and from the inside to the outside of the
branches. It gets plenty of sun and water and it's "brother" tree in
the front yard is going gangbusters.

Any idea what is happening? Is it a fungus or disease? I can't find much
info on them online.

If this isn't the correct group, please let me know which is.

I have come across before some info from A&M concerning a fungal leaf
spot that will cause them to drop the needles...also, they will drop
their needles in drought...possibly the soil where that tree is planted
is a lot shallower than the soil area where the other tree and the dry
spell we had may be to blame, even though you where watering it some.

This is the correct group. I don't have a clue what the problem is
though.
