Hi, ive had my tree for 6 months and its been healthy and well, in the 2 weeks its been acting up. The leaves are drying and lost that green color, if you touch a branch its hard and breaks off.. Please help

First what country are you in? Next where are you keeping this Juniper? If as I suspect you are keeping it inside then that is the death sentence.
Third how are you watering it? You must water when needed, so when the soil is almost dry water until it runs through then do it again then allow to to almost dry before watering again. This could be every day depending on where you are and the conditions.
Also th foliage is very thick and needs thing ous so that the inner foliage gets sunlight.

Im in USA Arizona, i keep the tree in the kitchen window, it does get sunlight but ive had the Ac on for the past 2 months so no fresh air. And i water it every 2 days.


What should i do to save it???

Put it outside immediately. Probably dead anyway. AC, indoors...

Sometimes I wonder why people don't ask how to treat plants they buy.
Also, make sure the tree gets a misting now and then.

Should i trim some of the branches off. Also direct sunlight or outside shade. Hopefully i can get it back to life.
Its not completely dead it does have some green fresh branches.

Thanks for you replies

I think Leatherback says it is dead, because above the brown needles, under the green buds, the leaves all seem to be dry.
This indicates there is no more sap flow from the roots to these leaves, and consequently no more sapflow to the end of the branches. This is visible on the 2nd photo, and on the 3rd photo the overall health of the plant looks quite bad.

If the above is correct, the buds are surviving on the last bits of sap they can still draw from the branch. Eventually, the complete branch including the tip will dry out and die. You wrote the branches snap easily, this would confirm what we think - juniper branches are normally quite flexible.

Junipers and other conifers can look alive for quite some time while essentially they are already beyond the point of no return. I agree with LB that this plant (that I refuse to call a bonsai) seems to be beyond that point.

Put outside, give it proper care, and keep your fingers crossed - as we can be wrong (it's hard to judge from photos without seeing the tree alive. NO pun intended).
