Need help with whatever is causing this Italian Cypress to die. We’ve had two of these for 15 years. Sprayed with two different fungicides (alternating) every year. Any help appreciated

That's what Italian Cypress do in Louisiana. Heat, Humidity and soils are not conducive to planting Italian Cypress. There are columnar varieties (Juniperus virginiana "Taylor" is one) of Eastern Red Cedar that do much better.

I get that where I live on my emerald green arborvitae.

Cut off the dead areas, test the soil, continue fungicide and pesticide, make sure it's not overwatered/underwatered. Likely going to perish. You can try putting some holly tone around the drip line and putting mulch down over it, but that's more support for a healthy tree.

Thanks. I plan to trim out the dead and dying and continue the fungicide and pesticide treatment but I expect to lose them. Wasn’t certain I would get that many years from them. Had spartan junipers before these but they ended much larger then I anticipated based upon what I knew about them. Will probably just not replant if we lose these.
