How do you revive a dying cedar tree?
You can do this by scratching the stems of the cedars to see if the tissue beneath is green. Prune back any branches where the tissue is brown. Cut back each branch to healthy stems with green tissue. Once you have removed winter damage in trees and shrubs, prune the cedars to shape them.
Will cedar trees grow back?
Regrowing Your Cedar
Regenerating growth from needle-less mature stems within the tree is unlikely. The only option for filling barren spots within the hedge is some reconstructive surgery or reconfiguration of the branching.
How do you fix winter burn on evergreens?
How do I save a plant with winter burn? For evergreens such as arborvitaes, boxwoods, junipers and yews, prune out dead, brown, damaged or dying tissue in mid-spring after new foliage is produced. If new foliage has not yet emerged by spring, scratch the bark on affected branches and look for green tissue underneath.
What do you do when cedar trees turn brown?
Fungal Diseases

How do you keep cedar trees healthy?
Maintenance and shape pruning
- Identify new growth – this will be a lighter green than the rest of the tree.

- Keep part of the new growth so that the cedar continues to grow and fill out.
How do you protect cedar trees in the winter?
The best way to prevent that from happening is to wrap the cedars with twine (see photo) or I prefer fishing line. It's almost invisible, keeps the evergreen tight to prevent the snow from weighing on the branches and allows you to still have winter interest.
How do you keep Cedars healthy?
Plant new hedges in cool weather. Watering thoroughly is key for helping cedars take root after planting. It is important to keep cedars watered during dry weather. A deep thorough watering once or twice a week is better than light, frequent watering.

“Allow the trees and evergreen shrubs to recover the best they can and respond later in the year when growth reaches its full potential and the dead branches are clearly visible to prune out,” Selner said. “There is very little you can do to treat winter burn” Koeppl said.
What causes winter burn on evergreens?
The foliage and needles are dead and appear to have been singed in a fire. This problem is called winter burn. ... The damage is from dehydrated plant tissues and occurs during winter when temperatures are frigid. Winter burn in evergreens is a result of a natural process called transpiration.
Can a brown evergreen come back?
Evergreens don't always live up to their name. Whether needled or broadleafed, both evergreen trees and shrubs can look sickly and brown in spring, especially after a particularly cold or dry winter. Though there may be some branch loss, most brown evergreens do come back as spring progresses.
