Are there any junipers that are supposta have yellow tips or is this just Chlorosis? These yellow tips don't look sickly at all. I have been throwing iron suppliments at this thing for years and it just seems to get yellower, but a pretty yellow. Sould I just give up and except the yellow. It's in bonsai soil, all my other plants seem health for now.chlorolis 2.jpgchlorosis 1.jpg

The yellower parts do not have a full cuticle layer (i.e., they haven’t “hardened off” in bonsai parlance) and will be matching the rest of foliage by mid summer. This is just the color of new growth, similar to how maple leaves come out red and orange before turning green.
