Question
We have a small blue cedar in our front yard that has suddenly started getting brown needles on it.  It also has new growth coming at the ends of the branches.  We had a very wet spring, 23 straight days of rain, and now it's rather dry.  The brown needles seem to be spread randomly all over the tree, a spot here and a spot there.  When I run my hand over the brown ones they pop right off. I see no sign of pests on the tree but who am I to say!! lol

Thanks for any information and recommendation you can give us to help the tree.

Answer
Sounds like just a reaction to the wet weather followed by dry weather. I would water the tree with 1 inch of water per week-place a pan under the tree and turn the sprinkler on and when the pan has 1 inch of water in it stop. Do this once a week if it does not rain.
