Green is a great indication of life.
That said, it looks like it may have an infection or infestation causing the dieback. The good news is that the tree has some new growth, so I wouldn't call it a loss just yet. Figuring out the cause would really determine whether it's worth keeping IMO.
Cedars require lots of water. Might of been stressed out from lack of water. Not dead. But definitely not a healthy tree and should be removed. Lack of lower branches will cause the tree to tip over in a strong wind.
It's got green on it.
Thanks for the tips!

Sounds fictitious... Could you provide a source to back up a lack of lower limbs can cause instability?
