Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: What happened to my Eastern Cedar?, 1 by MollyMc

I bought two of these 4 years ago. They were both a little over 5 feet. This one grew the best and was a sight to see.

This winter was a hard one for us and now the tree has gone brown. It should be evergreen.

I thought maybe the cold got to it (silly idea I know), but the other one, although topped and not as tall, is still green and healthy, planted about 40 feet from the house.

Any ideas?

BTW, I have seen some other cedars in Gainesville area that are suffering the same way.
