Expert Response
Thank you for your question, Ann. Unfortunately, we cannot diagnose a plant problem from this distance, and without being able to examine the plant tissue.. Cedars begin to release pollen in March, and are subject to three known diseases: https://pnwhandbooks.org/plantdisease/host-and-disease-descriptions?title=Cedar%2C+port+orford
I suggest that you take plant samples to either the Clackamas County Extension office (https://extension.oregonstate.edu/clackamas), or the Washington County Extension office (https://extension.oregonstate.edu/washington) so Master Gardeners can examine them.
Good luck!
