My C. obtusa 'Gracilis' looked great last year, but this winter it browned up, big-time. : (
The funny thing is, the bases of what I guess are petioles are green. I don't know if it's wishful thinking, but it seems to be greening up again. Is this possible? Should I set the date for a conifer funeral?

I have to say I think it looks really nice in that two-tone, green and brown. To bad there are not everbrowns...

Sorry, can't see it surviving with that amount of dead foliage.

Wow, that is a shame. What do you suppose happened to it?

You know, I'm not sure what happened to it, aside from living just past the one year warranty LOL

There's a C. pisifera 'Filifera' five feet away from the 'Gracilis' that looks not especially happy, but it at least still has leaves.

Bummer.
