My Italian Cypress trees also developed wind damage over winter and went brown in patches. I did notice that they are turning yellow-green rather than the brown they were a few weeks back. Give them water and a feed. The sun seems to pick them up. I do think that mine will recover.

My Wilma (Golden Cypress) also developed brown spots, but are not regrowing where damaged. Unlike the Italian Cypress the brown patches on the Wilma are dry and fall off when I run my hand through it. The Italian Cypress brown patches are still soft like the green parts. I do not think that Wilma should be sold in the UK unless in a very sheltered spot as they seem to damage easy - though every supermarket and GC seems to sell them.

As a general rule when an evergreen goes brown it stays brown - though my Italian ones seem to be an exception.

YES ,THE HEDGING TREES ARE LEYLANDII, THE FAST GROWING ONES.
DO YOU NOT THINK THEY WILL RECOVER ??.
ITS GOING TO BE A PAIN TO REPLACE THEM ALL.

BUT AT LEAST IM THANKFULL THE ITALIAN CYPRESS HAVE A CHANCE.

THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER

Hello, re your leylandii hedge, check for signs of sooty mould aprox three/four inches into the hedge, if so the damage could be down to the conifer aphid, come across this problem on a regular basis, if so control with provado bug clear, spray aprox four times a year, i find this very effective, however, once damaged [severely] they will not come back. julien

THANK YOU FOR THE RESPONSE..
