I live in North/central tx and some of our cedar trees are dying. Does anyone know why?

This has been going on for some time. I ask the dirt doc and he suggested the land is poor and getting poorer. We have hundreds and if some died it would not hurt my feelings. They are such a trash tree. Hopefully as we improve out land with the organic - natural ways some of them will die to save from using a chainsaw on most of ours.

Cedars do seem to be showing more early signs of suffering from the rampant use of high nitrgenhigh salt artificial fertilizers that do such harm to the soil.

Folks with property that's been organically/naturally maintained aren't having issues like this, beyond the occasional yearly rainfall variance issues.

What if these trees have not been fertilized with chemicals? (That we know of, we have lived on this property for three years). We have about 3 acres. These trees are outside of our yard on land that nature takes care of.

It may just be a vareity of cedar that doesn't do well here. Sometimes trees that don't do well get populated in a spot, grow for 15 years, then die off en masse.

Check for anything that's changed in the environment. If not, it could be anything, including just the end of a short life span for a cedar that wasn't meant to grow here.
