Comment on Did the top of my little tree die?

Is this an eastern redcedar? If so, it should be cold hardy enough for Wisconsin I think.
To me the top doesn’t look dead, but I’m not sure what’s causing the color difference. Perhaps it’s just maturing? If it’s still soft and pliable I would assume it’s OK.

To be honest, I’m not sure what they are. They grow inside the fence at cell tower sites. Pretty sure birds poop the seeds out, they land in the gravel and some grow. Some sites have a bunch of them.
They just get sprayed, so i pick a few here and there. These four are the oldest ones I’ve been able to keep alive.

I think that’s what it is, but I’m not too familiar with this species and its potential maladies. You could try cross posting to !treehuggers@slrpnk.net to see if another arborist sees it there but I don’t know if any on Lemmy unfortunately.
