Need Help! Japanese Juniper

[V3gasMan]

As the title indicates I need some help with my juniper. It’s browning very badly. I bought it in FL but I now love in Richmond, VA. It stays outside and gets afternoon sun. Advice?

Can you give us more information? What have you done to it recently? When did this start? Have you changed watering habits? That sort of thing.

A couple of mine are doing the same thing. I sure hope that there isn’t some kind of disease going around.

It could be either mites or tip blight. Apply an insecticede soap and a week later a course of daconil

Spider mites don't do well in cold weather. So the issue should not progress if the temperatures are getting lower, if it's in fact spider mites.
Junipers have the tendency to go golden brownish when temperatures drop, but this looks more like what I've seen after a poorly timed repot and less proper aftercare.

We could use more information.

It doesn’t look like spider mites. It looks more mechanical (damaged by banging it into something on the move?) or chemical (spilled something on it?). Either way, it should be in full sun all day, be sure it’s getting enough water, and when it stabilizes I’d remove everything that is dead. Unless it continues to show more damage, it looks like it could pull through. post a follow-up photo in a week or two before you remove anything dead and let’s see if it has gotten worse or if the damage is contained to what we se in the OP.

You can say that again.
I don't ever see one here.
Winter is just a little too much for them here.

Here too, it seems to be an indoor-only pest. I think of greenhouses as indoor, by the way.

That is all, carry on...

Sorry for the late response but I recently repoted it. I use the fertilizer once every two weeks or so
