Okay first things first...Hi all
My juniper is looking a little sickly... it’s got quite a lot of light brown leaves which seem to be escalating
Any advice would be great....
I have sprayed with a all round fungus killer be it’s still getting worse

Yeah....try to dry it out....I thought is was too wet from that mountain of moss.....try getting it to dry out asap and repot asap in my opinion....wouldnt be using organics in Europe at all......far to wet! Surrey is no exception.Personally from what you say I think it’s too wet as the soil is very dense and wet all of the time as here in the UK it’s always raining.
I do have a shelter for my trees so will pop it inside with the front open for ventilation. When I can I’ll get Peter Chan from Heron Bonsai to repot it for me
Good advice from Rob. You want it to dry out a bit with the heat so that moisture needs to ventilate out somewhere.Ok so I’ve added quite a few drainage holes with a chopstick and rehomed into shelter so fingers crossed...
Thanks for the advice and I’ll keep you all posted on any progress
Sorry didnt see update until today....theyre tough fellows....just love water but hate wet feet...house air isnt best for its health though even with snow I would personally keep it in the greenhouse outside. If you do feel the need for it to be inside then make sure it....not the soil necissarily is regularly misted.....dry house and and heating .....equals dead juniper.....very glad its bouncing back....Juniper update ....
After drying out looks like it might thrive.
Looking much happier and perking up
Bought it indoors as we are expecting snow again ?

Hi, in our climate, that tree should never ever be inside. Mine sit out on the benches all year long and always have done.Bought it indoors as we are expecting snow again ?
Goog good looks like you are all set....but seriously a week tree being repotted is already a stress.......make sure you tell them no root trimming no pruning etc.......just needs to get through the year.....if it has too many roots it may be better to even let it be in a slightly larger pot and just let it have a nice recovery for this year....I’ll be going to the show on Saturday and taking alone this tree and my Import Azalea ?? Might as well get some feed and a helping hand with repotting
