But it hasn't gotten better either. The plant is dead or dying. Junipers can stay green for a long time.

It usually takes some time for the foliage to get the memo!

The weakened plant could have gotten infected, or the infection weakened the plant. Could be both.

I had a juniper for about 8 years. Suddenly due to being careless in summer from a busy schedule and not going home for 4 days and watering it. It died.
Note that it was green all the way till fall/autumn close to 4 months suddenly in a week it was 90% brown.
As noted earlier pines and juniper can take a while to look dead opposed to other trees. I find juniper the slowest in experience.
I know this as i am an experienced juniper/pine killer. I stay away from them now. Never have any luck with them in a pot. only in the ground.
