[IBC] Why is my tree dying?
 

It's indoors? If so that's why it's dying. Junipers need to be outdoors,
usually in full sun and only watered when the soil begins to dry out.
Once you notice that it appears to be dying it is usually completely
dead.

Scratch the trunk low down to see if there's any green beneath the bark.
If there is you may be in with a slim chance of reviving it. Don't water
again until the soil begins to dry out. Move it outdoors and pray.

Where are you?

I have a beautiful Juniper tree that is about 20 years oldand about .
It has been flourishing well for the past 6 months and growing quite
well. It sits on a table that allows it to get plenty of indirect
sunlight, and it is submerged watered about
2 a week. I notice now that over the past month that is seems to be
getting dry
areas on the branches. It is about 30 inches long, 15 wide and about 7
inches tall. Any thoughts? Thanks,

Arty

Yes. And we all agree. Get your tree out of the house.

And, if there are rocks on top of the soil, remove them. Fill
the empty space with potting soil. Water from the top (a
sprinkling can is idea!) when the soil feels dry; depending on
where you live that could be every other day, or even daily.
Keep a stick inserted into the soil. Remove it daily and feel
the dirty end. If it is wet don't water. If it feels dry,
water.

I hope it's not too late. Good luck.

Moved it outside as was suggested here, and it has not stopped raining for the last 2
weeks. Guess what? "IT'S ALIVE" New shoots all over the place.

Thanks gang.
