Hello everyone.

I had my juniper procombens nana for over two years and never had a problem. I pinched new growth, water and fertilised it but a few weeks ago it started to show a little yellow patches. I thought that the tree had spider mites. So I hosed it really good and sprayed some miticide. But now it is getting out of hand. All the new growth is turning brown and falling off. I fear that the tree is dying. Please tell me that is not

hi i'am new to this but I was looking and thought it may be to much at one time for the tree.
someone will give you a better answer these's guy's are good on here.

I found this the other day. you may know this already.
Junipers are a favorite victim of red spider mites. If the tree appears weak, with yellowing foliage, it may have spider mites. To check for spider mites, hold a sheet of white paper under a branch and gently shake the foliage. If the paper comes away with many small dots that move, it has spider mites. To combat spider mites, spray with insecticidal soap or a nicotine solution (which can be made by soaking tobacco in water overnight).

I haven't tried the tobacco soaking.

good luck with your tree.

Besides the color, I see no sign of spider mites (usually, there is very fine webbing on the plants too).

It is more likely a root problem. What soil is the plant in? It might be worth checking the rootbal, to see whether the roots are healthy.

Were it my tree, I would lift it from the current container, check the roots. of the roots are healthy, start thinking again. If the roots are not healthy, I would varefully open the outer edge of the rootbal,, and plant the whole thing in very well-draining mixture. Then put the plant in bright shade, out of full wind/sun. Spray foliage daily, and reduce watering to a bare minimum.

But.. A plant that looks like this.. Not much hope left if you are not a very experience 'caretaker'
