Blue arrow juniper, help required.
Hi all,
First post and could do with a little advice.
I have 4 blue arrow junipers in my front garden have been there for atleast a year now, in the last week or so the bark has gone very dark and alot of brown is appearing in the leaves/needles
I've attached a picture, if anyone can identify the issue and a solution if one exists i would appreciate it very much, i dont want to lose them!

Have your trees been regularly and generously watered? … we had a very dry spring and I’ve found that below the top few inches of the soil, down where the roots are, it’s been dry as dust … and trees need plenty of tlc in their first couple of years after planting.

If it is just a watering issue im hoping they can be saved as im staying on top of it now.
Thanks again!
