Junipers turning brown
 

I have some ornamental creeping junipers in one of my beds. They have
thrived for about seven years. But this past spring they have started
turning brown. One of them has now turned almost completely brown. I put
some fungicide on them in the spring. This appears not to have helped much,
though. Any idears?

Junipers turning brown
 

Junipers keep their green color a loooong time...so if all the leaves
are at least some brown, the plants are dead.

One of the 'jokes' around bonsai - the little bonsai junipers they
sell in malls at christmas are often-times already dead when someone
buys them.

If it started in spring, it could have been from the heavy freezing in
February...I know I lost a number of limbs from what are supposed to
be cold-hardy junipers.

I got a new bonsai -- yes sir!
And beautiful love did occur.
I bought it at Lowes,
Loved it down to my toes.
I think it's a brown-needled fir!
