I have 6 conifers in my garden and 3 of them have leaves going brown as per attached photo. The affected trees are not next to each other. Can anyone please help with advice on how to deal with this?

Regards

    Whatsoever it is, it won't recover. May have to replace.

    Lyn, Verdun, Is it possible to drown conifers? I have one that's starting to look a bit like that but it's in a prat of my garden that is sometimes waterlogged for weeks.

    I wouldn't think a tree that size would be affected by drying out or over watering, it could just be coming to its end naturally, I don't know how long it's been there, or could just be wind burn. I have never watered  a conifer, except on planting and when very young.

    Is it salty conditions which harm bigger conifers with you Verd? I'd think that could be a possibility  image
