Almost surely normal behavior, and the plant looks fine from what I can tell by the picture. But, as I wrote in your other very similar thread, if dead needles start appearing on the upper surface of the foliage or the browning seems to be occurring in patches rather than uniformly throughout the plant, insect damage or disease are possibilities (I see no sign of this in the picture).

Thank you Brandon ;) I Love this little tree its all brown inside outside a little to but not much...a lot of blue/green though...Thanks, Lisa

what he said.. but its planted about 3 feet too close to the house ... unless you plan on massacring it thru pruning.. and keeping it exactly this size ... it is a tree.. they never really stop growing ...

and if that wall gets hit by sun.. its going to bake it.. even in winter ...

we need a current pic..

and if i were you.. i would think long and hard about moving it in fall ... straight toward the camera about 3 feet.. and one foot to the left ...

be nice to know.. where you are ....
