Certified ExpertA.This really depends on what you used to spray them. Unfortunately, without more information, I can't help much. What I can do is give you some articles that might help some:

he ground. It's a beautiful green under the light brown Recently I gave it a gallon of water as I hadn't been watering it much at all. I'm afraid of water making it turn brown. How much water do Junipers need. This one was ordered from a nursery. At first the needles were green but they quickly turned blue green...???

dles. They are now bare in the center; no new growth in the middle. If I can find new plants, same type, I want to fill in to make the shrub more appealing because I am going to sell my house and this the “curb appeal “ at roadside next to driveway.. hope you can help.

Certified ExpertA.It likely was a creeping juniper. There are many cultivars so just inquire at the nursery for one similar.

May 23, 2024Q.Blue Point Juniper Discolored From Top Down
Hello, I planted three blue point junipers a year ago and a few months ago I noticed one was discoloring to a pale yellowish tone from the top down. Then a couple months later another one started discoloring too, also from the top down. I'm afraid the third will do the same! The trees get plenty of water but only morning sun. Also, my dogs pee on the trees and there's no way I can police them. Is there something I can do to save them, or will they eventually get worse and die?

Certified ExpertA.One issue may be these trees are suited to USDA zones up to 9. You are in zone 10. I suspect poor drainage may be at work here. Make sure you aren't overwatering and the soil drains quickly. If the roots sit in water, they will get root rot. Also check for spider mites or scale. Here is more:
