What's going on with this Juniper

12 years ago

Hello,

We planted three junipers last year. We have watered them religiously, but still they are getting these yellow branches. Any idea what is going on?

    I don't think you need to water that Juniper anymore. They like plenty of sun and fairly dry conditions to look their best. What side of the building is it planted on?
    Where in Canada do you live? What is your Zone?

    compare with juniper tip blight ...

    i would just prune out the brown and dispose of it ... i wouldnt waste money on such ...

    see link ... its at least 3 feet too close to the fence and the redwood [hot tub?] ... if i am right on the ID.. see link ...

    i got rid of most of mine.. since they free seed all over the yard ... and because of the JTB ... it only gets worse as they get older

    ken

    ps: its weird.. but JVs are invasive in some areas.. apparently mine.. and native down south ... all the power to them.. they can have them ... lol ...

    Here is a link that might be useful: link

    Hello,

    It's on the SW corner of our lot, which gets plenty of light. . The wood is a cedar fence and not a tub. We don't have much room in our planting beds so I don't know if we can go much farther away from the fence.

    So you think these have Juniper Tip Blight? Therefore, chop off the dead brances about two inches into the live woods and sterilize between cuts? Thanks

    did you see my link????

    they make cedar fence posts out of these GIANTS ...

    you have it planted it with no space for future growth.. IF MY ID IS CORRECT...

    if you want a small nice conifer.. to enjoy for the decades .... then get one.. but this isnt the one ... these darn cute an cuddly babes... end up being the forest trees they really are ...

    if it were me.. i would get rid of it totally ...

    in the mean time.. should you not believe me.. and want to learn thru experience ... then yes... trim off the brown part .. they are brown and dead ... but again.. i wouldnt waste money on treatments ...

    "... with this Juniper"

    "they make cedar fence posts out of these ..."

    Reminds me of last year, when they discovered that they used horses to make beef burgers . . . :-((

    Looks just like many of my upright junipers after an especially brutal Canadian winter, just prune off the dead stuff and it'll be fine.
