"There are several common problems that can cause browning of needles and dieback of entire shoots, especially when junipers are improperly planted or under stress from the environment"

You cannot simply discard the fact that the needles are browning and say it is 'OK'. Needles on inner branches can turn brown due to natural causes, but this plant is not in a natural environment. Browning would normally occur in fall - and it's not fall yet, as far as I know. I do not see any browning on my junipers yet.

You need to take into consideration that the browning may have another cause - like too low light levels - and give advise accordingly (this advise has already been given: do not keep it indoors).

i did not discard anything, all i have said it could be either it is a juniper and naturally the browning occurs or it is inddoors and the browning occurs unnaturally/naturally. all i am saying is that it could be either of our theories, it would be much simpler if we just actually ask the plant!...

Sp basically you had nothing to add then to say, hey guys, I really like what you are saying? Sometimes that makes things more confusing, and it is better to not add anything...

I'm not aware of that, but that's what can happen with your hit-and-run posts, where you drop a couple of opinions, read other people's comments, adjust your opinion, and wait for reactions to once again change your mind.

I adjust my theories, not opinions due to someone else thinking of another possibility that i did not think of since my first post. Please next time you post a post with the same subject of matter please make sure you read my mind before you guess whats happening in it.

If someone has already corrected you and thought of an other possibility, it is not necessary to repeat that possibility and pretend it's your idea.

i do not pretend it is my idea because i do not label it in any way to say it is. I use phsycology, the idea is enhanced by another person therefore giving the person who is needing help more reasurance and lesser feeling of jitteriness therefore giving more a hopeful feeling of reasurance rather than reading one idea and thinking this ONE person may be wrong.

You must have read a psychology book too then. You do explain why your posts are "jittering" all over the place.
My last reply, we've been off-topic for too long now.
