Ok....so if it wasn't pouring rain outside, I would post a pic....but I'm almost too ashamed to to point a camera at it.
Its been hit hard by Tip Blight this year, but the other one right next to it is fine.

I've been using Bonide Infuse Spray and Granular.....and Daconil in between....

I tried removing all brown foliage a few weeks ago, then spraying with Bonide Infuse.
Its trying to grow, but all tips are browning again.
Its looking very unhealthy now and I'm getting worried.

Any advise?

Mancozeb knocked the tip blight off of my procumbens after a few weekly applications. It took about a season for the foliage to recover fully, however. I wonder if it might be over potted/ watered now that the sacrifice has come off? Not that I would be in a hurry to do root work. Treat it and maybe down pot in the spring if it is strong enough.

I'll try it! Thanks!

Glad it’s coming around Mike. I think I’m also dealing with tip blight on a shimp. Need to get some mancozeb myself.

What is the shelf life or does it sport an expiration date on your bottle?
What size did you get, 8 or 16 Oz concentrate?
Its the 16 oz concentrate.
I don't see a shelf life or obvious expiration date.....
There is "20022101" printed on the bottle as an Expiration date would be......???
20 Feb 2101? Lol..... I dunno.

My juniper seemed to have beaten the browning of the tips last year..... thought it was Tip Blight, used Mancozeb and Daconil.....but its back now, even with the continued use of the sprays.
I'm considering the roots now.
I wanted to keep it in this pot for as long as possible, its was barerooted from its original field dirt to lava and pumice in spring 2018.
Thinking it may need a mid summer repotting....my other juniper, right next to this one has no such problem.
Its super long and leggy now from all this BS...I was hoping to grow strong and cut back for some back budding this year....but here I am again.
Thoughts?
Prayers?

Also been using Bonide Infuse, both liquid and Granular....plus Daconil and Mancozeb....and its also been hit with Horticultural Oil.
I always leave about 2 weeks at least between sprays.

I'm not too keen on mid summer repotting...but I think that's my best option, all things considered.
Its the fact that the other identical species right next to it, has no issues at all.

Brought it in for a closer look.... gonna remove brown tips.
I don't have time to repot tonight....but I'm leaning towards doing it asap, the more I ponder it.

Unless you used 10% (give or take) or more 8822, a sure fire way to slow a tree down
is to repot 2 years running. I know it's not 2 years running, but you've been going at this each year
with something major. I would remove the brown tips, stop the granules, and Fert it with Alaskan 5-1-1
weekly, and Superthrive when you have to water. Needs rest and Sun I would bet.
Reassess Summer 2022 for thinning maybe, maybe not.

Are you pre watering ahead of the heat every day before work only to come home to soil that doesn't need watering?
Might skip a day here n there if you are. Is the water passing through ok? Any DE?
