Help!
I have a Juniper which has faded from bright green to dull green. There have been no changes over the past year and watering schedule as and when soil dries out. Planted in Akadama/Kiryu blend, also have other trees without any issue. The image is close up of the scale from a healthy tree and the one with issue. The dulling appears to be something covering the foliage or a reaction but I am unsure what it could be. It's been a couple of months now with no die back, I assumed it would wither and brown but as in photo can see it is still growing with brighter tips on the new growth.
I have tried a miticide, horticultural oil, insecticidal soap without much change. I haven't tried a fungicide as there are so many types that treat different issues, there are also contact and systemic fungicides to choose from. Hope I can borrow from someones experience to overcome this issue.
Thanks in advance..
