Juniper tip / top turning yellow

[crisz]

Hi all, new to juniper, i bought a juniper tree and the top/tip is turning yellow. I looked up some online resources suggesting maybe rot root, but i checked the root and it seems ok, anyone know why its like this ?

Do not just pull trees from pots. They really do not like it.

Just to make sure,as I am not clear what you mean. You do not mean the happy flush of your growing tips at the end of all the branchlets do you?
Because if you mean the lighter green at the ends, that is what healthy growth on a juniper looks like. (Which might stop now that you have disturbed the rootball)

Yeah, those are growing tips. Thats what you want to see.

Where in the world are you located?

Tree seems to think it is

Hi Thanks for your reply, yes i do mean the lighter green at the ends, it seems more green in the photo but more yellow in the real life... Seems normal then ?. I tried to copy the repotting technique from youtube to check the root to see if it;s rotted .. ... hope it will not disturbed the grow..

Hi I'm in Melbourne Australia, yes we are heading into spring

normal then

Yup. This is what growth looks like.
You being in Mel, Australia makes it a good time to do rootwork and do a proper repot.

Rootrot is a term thrown around a lot, but rarely actually a thing.
