Ellwood cypress with cold damage.

yup... thats what a zone 6 plant looks like in z5 .... or after a bad winter ...

see how it buds out ... and if it does.. then remove any dead stuff .. then see if you are willing to put up with it.. however it looks ...

surprised at embo using a common name.. it is not a cypress .. per se .. the full name is : Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ellwoodii'

i can not grow lawsons in my MI ... just 20 miles north of the OH border ... what city do you live near??? .. OH is kinda big.. and rather diverse ....

ken

And it looks as if it is stuck willy nilly into the yard with no plan for incorporating it in any way into the landscape.

Wow, thanks so much for the answers.
So should I wait till it buds to remove dead branches, is there anything else I should do? So I move it to a better spot?

I would wait to see if it recovers at all. IME, conifers that show that much dead, brown foliage are on their way out.

Should have been planted in a grass free area and mulched. But if climate is unsuitable won't succeed there no matter what is done.
