Arborvitae Dying from Inside Out: Need Photo

Emerald green arborvitae shows interior dieback (green outside, dead inside). Some interior browning is normal with age/size.

Assessment

• Send overall photo for evaluation.
• Compare to similar-sized neighbors.
• Check for bagworms, spider mites, root issues.

Normal vs. Problem

Uniform interior shading = normal. Patchy, progressing outward + thinning canopy = problem (root rot, drought, pests).
