This time of year it's probably a salt burn, fertilizer burn. Could also be from water on tips causing tip burning from watering when sun is directly on it. Though more like salt burn from salt build up in soil from not watering deep enough. Common in clay soils.

So you’re thinking give it more water when watering? Thanks
I also read that brown edges result from temp extremes...like a very cold snap last winter...that should stop on its own, or drying out in very hot weather.

It was just planted a few months ago and was not brown tipped when planted.
Perhaps I’m being overly concerned, it could be the soil salt as previously mentioned.
I know I’m being too anal since we lost a Fat Albert Spruce due to Bagworms and I blame myself for not questioning those hanging sacks! My fault and I feel very badly about it. It’s always bad to lose a shrub or tree but especially when it’s due to me.

Guess you kept it well watered after planting??? Best to plant early spring or early fall, so the new roots can grow, remain cool, get lots of moisture....planting anything in summer can almost guarantee problems. No moisture to get from soil or very little, at least. If it's from heat and dryness it should recover over fall and winter.
I don't like to lose plants that I planted either. Those bagworms are bad enough just by their look, they also do damage.

All very true and I’m good about watering since I enjoy checking on all of the planting’s. I’ve planted at least a dozen shrubs this year including 7 Allegheny Viburnums and doesn’t include the 4 clumping bamboo plants. I water all of the new planting’s with natural rain water that I have in several barrels that are connected to the leader drain from the roofs gutter system. Everything appears to be doing well with lots of new growth.
