Browning Juniper

Johnny 2 · May 2014

I just added a bunch of plants to a slope next to my driveway....mostly junipers and daylillies.

I have 1 gold coast juniper that is browning on the back side of it. I have trimmed some of the browned branches off but I didn't want to take all of them off and create a huge empty spot, especially without knowing what is causing this.

All the other junipers (7 others, including 2 other gold coasts) are doing pretty well.

I am a complete novice at all of this so I really have no idea what this could be. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Many junipers change colour in winter and return to their 'proper' colour in spring with new growth. Keep an eye on it to see if it comes back as that may simply be all that's wrong. Assuming there's no issues with weevil damage (junipers are fairly pest free normally) or something dubious in the soil, check to see that the roots are getting out into the surrounding area as sometimes they can get 'stuck'. If it's not any of these reasons - pansyface's answer may be the solution
