[IBC] eastern red cedar
hello all,
i have an eastern red cedar i planted in my yard last year and i was gonna use it for bonsai in a couple of years. here's the question: does brown foliage on this tree mean its dead? i used my fingernail to scrape away a tiny peice if bark and found that underneath it is still green. BUT i have heard that junipers die from the roots up. should i worry? adam roler indianapolis indiana __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[IBC] eastern red cedar
hello all,
i have an eastern red cedar i planted in my yard last year and i was gonna use it for bonsai in a couple of years. here's the question: does brown foliage on this tree mean its dead? i used my fingernail to scrape away a tiny peice if bark and found that underneath it is still green. BUT i have heard that junipers die from the roots up. should i worry? Is this brown-brown or purple-brown? Red cedars change color in winter, and turn (depending on the individual) greyish or purplish. When spring comes, the green color will return. However, if the color is straw-tan or nasty brown, the tree is having a problem. A juniper will die from the roots up if it is stricken with root rot. It will die from the top down if it has a twig blight. Let us know what kind of brown you're talking about, and we'll try to narrow it down. -- Nina Shishkoff Riverhead, NY ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

They turn brownish during the winter, and turn a nice green once spring comes.
