I bought a juniper from a nursery after I did some research. When I got it home I put it outside (it was 60 degrees at the time). its been out there three nights, the last two have been 30 degrees. I did some more research on dormancy and realized the juniper probably was not dormant, it was in a green house that was about 70 degrees when I bought it. Did I just shock my juniper to death??! Should I bring it in, leave it out? I am freaking out!! Thank you for any help given!

I would say it was pretty much dead already. Why would they keep plants at 70 degrees. Our summers normally do not get over 40 degrees, and at tyhat point I start spraying the foliage.

[switch international confusion off]
As you are on the internet, do realize that you have to specificy what you mean. Ideally, you make it easy for the rest of the world, and use the standard way to signifcy temperature, which is degrees celcius. Only very few countries in the world use the outdated fahrenheit.

Junipers are tough. It is indeed not ideal to bring them out in the freezing weather, without it having time to prepare for it. If however this is now just for a night or two, leave it outside. If the temperatures are expected to remain low and / or drop further, bring it into a sheltered cool area such as a garage.

Thank you for the reply and sorry for the confusion, I being ignorant assumed people would not need clarification when dealing with temps that high. I think its already dead, when I scratch the limbs of the tree its green underneath but when i scratch the trunk its white.

Stop scratching. Do I scratch your skin to know whether you are alive? you are damaging a plant that is not doing well more..

When did this happen then? If it was in the last few days you should not see a big difference yet, unless it was such a serious frost that the foliage died instantly. Plants have a different speed, and certainly junipers take a long time to show signs of damage.

Picture?

no you do not scratch me to see of im alive but I am a human and it is a tree, major difference. The foliage is fine, i read into dormancy and trees and was worried that my juniper may not be dormant when i put it outside. there is no signs of damage.

You don't scratch trees to see if they are alive, but to confirm they are dead.
