Default How long do conifers live?

On Sun, 21 Mar 2004 11:04:40 -0000, whilst Caruthers was creaming the
maids muffin, (to her great delight) this horse shite arrived from
"Alan Gregory" not wishing to put Caruthers
of his stroke I decided to deal with it:

I've got two large, low growing junipers which are about 10 years old and
have spread quite nicely as part of a conifer / heather bed. In fact, the
whole bed has spread a bit too nicely and it needs to be cleared out.

Would you recommend I keep the mature junipers and form a new design around
them, or are they likely to die within the next few years? The "surface"
needles are green, but underneath all is brown.


Thanks,
Alan
