Hello everyone.
I really don't know what species is this little guy. But it is getting colder in the vancouver area in Canada. -1 Celsius and I noticed that some of the foliage it is turning very dark green while the rest of it looks that pale green on the tips. Could it be frost bite ? It's the plant to young for the cold winter.? Or should I leave it outside.
Thank you.

The dark green almost black foliage fell off the branches.

ooks like a normal juniper to me. They can stand the cold. Many species get a bonze color in winter, to return to green in spring.
I would try to find out the exact species and read up on it. A -20c winter is different than a -1c winter.
Main reason for frost-trouble are in the inability of roots to get water from the soil (frozen soil) when wind & sun dry out the foliage.
