Yellowing leaves on evergreen

[nellie923]

I'm not sure what kind of tree this is. It was planted about 2-3 years ago. Perhaps someone on this forum can help me identify it. It was planted to replace some Leyland Cypress trees that succumbed from bagworms or disease, so I'm pretty sure I would not have planted another Leyland Cypress. Maybe a green giant? Anyway, the leaves are yellowing. I hope you can see it fro mthe photo. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

From what I can see that is natural yellowing. Usually associated with new growth on specific types of conifer.

I think you're right it's a thuja but i was never good at thuja vs chaemecyparis, but i do think it's a thuja. Green giant is the most common cultivar. It's not terribly drought tolerant. It's really hard to say from a photo why it's yellowing, I've seen similar from excessive sun.
My dad had a leyland he was growing because he didn't think they were well suited for Western Kentucky, basically he grew it as a bad example, so you could see how they get ragged when big, i think i talked my brother into cutting it down

I wouldn't worry too much about the thuja yet

Gosh, I jhope it is not a green giant, as they simply cannot tolerate the heat here anymore. I doubt I would have purchased another one.
