In fact certain types of pruning, like topping, can forever change the shape of your tree which is fine if you are creating a hedge. Otherwise avoid this type of pruning. When to prune Cypress Trees? The best time to prune Cypresses is in early spring, but minor trimming can be done at anytime. Avoid pruning in late fall. Pruning encourages new growth that is tender and can be damaged by extreme temperatures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhy is My Cypress Tree Turning Brown?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCypress Trees turn brown for a variety of reasons, some more serious than others. Natural browning of older leaves and needles occurs prior to growing new foliage. Drought is the most common reason trees turn brown, but too much water can be an issue too. Drought tends to lead to crispy foliage where excess water causes brown, but soft foliage and can lead to root rot. Bronzing in winter is normal for many evergreen trees. It is caused by drought, wind, and sun. Most plants green up in spring. A thick layer of mulch and good watering prior to deep freezes can help reduce winter desiccation and browning. Disease and pests can also cause browning. For identification and a treatment plan, speak with a professional arborist or your local extension agent. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHow Fast Do Cypress Trees Grow?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCypress Trees are fast growing trees that are excellent for privacy hedges or specimen plantings.
