Brown Tip
I have a juniper tree that turning brown at the top and having trouble growing. Whats wrong/what should i do?
The tree is about ten years old was doing well until last year. Then is began to slump and could not hold itself upright very well. I supported it and it has straightened out well but still has brown tips and top and branches are dying. It also has basically stopped growing and when i bought the seedling, I was told it was a large variety with mature height of 20 to 40 feet. I would like it to be larger but mostly I would rather it be healthy. What can I do to cure/feed it to help it with the brown death (thats what I call it b/c every branch gets brown on the tip, then the entire branch, then that branch dies). Should I prune the brown? Also, is there anything I can do to spur growth? Please help, this tree has priceless sentimental value as it was a gift from a recently removed family member. Thank you!
There are a dozen possibilities for what could be wrong with your tree. It's impossible to diagnose via the Net. You could call in an expert, but a cheaper approach is to call your county's Cooperative Extension Service. Their plant expert will come out and look, and it's free - paid for by your tax dollars!
