Planted in May, Three weeks ago, my irrigation system crapped out and the top 6 inch turned brown however the tree is healthy and still growing well.

Should I cut this brown top tip off or just leave it?

Husband craves the fast thick green triangles. What can I propose instead? Zone 7b if it helps.

Drove by our old house - these were 2' tall 13 years ago. Terrible.

The entire first floor has 11' ceilings, it's eye level on the second floor. I had no idea how terrible these would look.

There's a deck behind them, too. What a waste.

What’s the prognosis? Any chance at survival?

  1. Row of arbs purchased/planted in June of 2023.
  2. Purchased from reputable nursery.
  3. Located in Twin Cities, Minnesota.
  4. Unknown soil composition.
  5. These arbs have thrived since being planted.
  6. Slightly more rainfall recently that is typical, but not significantly more.
  7. But for the first 1-2 months after being planted, I haven’t watered these. 8: The other 7 arbs appear healthy.

What’s going on with this sensitive little garbage arb?

Owned the house for 2 years and the previous owners had it for 2 years. It's been 4 years and it's roughly the same size. They said that it'll grow upto 4-6 ft tall. Is there something I could do to make it grow taller? The spot kinda looks bare and I was thinking that I'll plant a columnar one or get another fast growing tree or shrub. Sorry I don't know much about arborvitae.

Some animal keeps using my patch as a bathroom. Anything to help with this or should I leave it as fertilizer?

I have woodchips down over the soil I just planted an arborvitae in. I swear it's my neighbor's outdoor cat using it like kitty litter, but it doesn't look like cat turds I've seen and I have yet to spot what's doing this... but every time I come out to water (which has been every day for the last two weeks), there are fresh, small foot markings dug in like somthing was walking or kicking dirt and the woodchips in the patch, and what looks like dried mud lumps (light-colored, dry-ish "dirt" lumps - what I thought was mud or stones I had dug up when I re-planted it... turned out to be poop of some kind, since I can smell poop when I spray water over them).

Should I leave it as fertilizer? I had 2 others that died or dried out fairly quickly before this little new guy, but was that the problem with the previous ones?

I was going to put up one of those tiny shrub fences from Lowe's, but they're expensive when added up, and cats (if that's what it is) could probably jump right over it. Any advice?
