arborvate

I have 20 arborvate that are 15 years old. They have always bee healthy. We had a very bad winter and the trees now have brown tips. All the trees have the same brown tips. What can I do.

If the needles were the only portion of the twig that was damaged, new needles will emerge below the damaged tips and given time the browned needles will be hidden or fall to the ground. This is likely winter desiccation from dry winter winds and sun exposure. Be sure the plants are well watered late into the season. Consider contacting your local Extension Service for a more local point of view of what is going on
