My Mom swears (not really) on spider mites was in her Leyland Cypress. We planted it in 04' and it had brown coming from the bottom up, she quickly sprayed it with Bug-B-Gone she said that hooked up to her hose. I'd just get Neem spray myself.
But, it has grown rapidly as Leylands should. It is around 10 feet tall. When we planted it, it was around 3 feet tall.
Spider Mites are very small, they are hardly visible to the nekkid eye, but if you look closely they can be seen. Also, look for faint spider webs.

Here it is a few weeks ago, growing fast.
