Hello! I'm in Vancouver, BC, Canada, just up the coast! :) This past winter, we had a two week warm spell at the end of January but it was a false spring and February hit like a freight train with snow, ice and freezing rain, breaking low temperature records and generally wreaking havoc. I've had to dig many dead and damaged-beyond-saving plants out of my garden but I'm not sure what to do with my lemon cypress. They're in large terra cotta containers on my patio and suffered considerable 'winter burn' (I think that's what it's called) but parts of the shrubs are still alive. In fact, when I take a closer look at the branches, they look green closer to the main stem which is heartening. However, there's quite a bit of dead growth that's all crumbly and dry. Should I give my cypress a harsh trim to get all the dead bits off? Or, like lavender, do they only *look* dead but will resurrect as spring continues? Suggestions appreciated. Thank you!
