My Hinoki seems to have a disease. The only symptom I can detect is the browning foliage. Is there anything I can do, now or in the Spring, other than removing the dead foliage, to help it?
Thanks.

Expert Response
Chamaecyparis obtusa (Japanese cypress, hinoki cypress) normally have a certain amount of interior browning. The oldest foliage drops off as the plant grows. Check that you are caring for the plant well, not over or under watering. I don’t expect you need to do anything else at this time.
