    Hi Folks

    I am a novice gardener trying to learn the ropes.

    I have a relatively newly landscaped garden with a few Cupressus sempervirens - Mediterranean Cypress planted in the garden.

    Over the last few months they are looking a bit shabby and not as full as I have seen some. Quite a few nuts on them.

    Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to keep them looking more healthy?

    Look forward to the feedback

    Many Thanks

    Twalis

    They might have spider mites, pretty much the only pest that bothers them.

    Those are cones growing on them, irregularly shaped some are roundish and some grow more oblong. They take about 2 years to ripen.

    do you know the best way to treat spider mites?

    thanks again
