Flowers are growing on the inner branches only
Some flowers appeared on the inner branches of a tree. What type of tree/flower is it? Should I trim on the outside? What else do I need to do to promote its growth? Will the flowers also grow on the outside?

How can I prevent my arborvitae trees from turning brown and dying every time I plant them?
I have replaced these Arborvitae trees 4 times.
They keep turning brown. I cut out parts of the trees behind them, so they would get more sunlight. I Am watering them. Could it be a fungus?
How can I keep this from happening?
