My backyard has 6 Green Giant Arborvitaes that were planted in Spring, 2015. All is well except that one of them has twice now had an issue with the top portion of it dying off.
What you see in the attached photo also happened last year (I can't remember when; probably during the summer or fall). I cut off the obviously-dead portion last year, but here we are again, and it's dead ... again. It happened within the last couple weeks.
Can anyone tell me why this would be happening? The rest of the tree looks fine, and is growing. Should I cut it again? (Will it grow vertically afterward?) Should I just replace it?
