Are the cedar leaves reddish-brown with the tips of branches dying back?
If you answered yes to this question, the Deodar weevil might have caused the damage. These beetles are reddish-brown in color with white spots on their backs. This is generally not a problem with healthy trees. To keep your trees healthy you must fertilize and water them on a regular basis. Use parasitic nematodes on the soil around the tree as a control measure.
