What care is needed to keep it alive?

[IrishCrow]

Hey everyone. I have this juniper that has great movement but I had to clear out a huge amount of branches and foliage to open it up. Now it's looking pretty weak. So far I've kept it from being watered down as much as I could. My area has been having a couple days of rain every week so I had to bring it inside every day it rained so it didn't get water logged. I've also kept it out if heavy sun. It gets some morning sun and indirect sun in the afternoon. But even with all that it's a little brown and weak. What could I do to bring it back? Like I said, it's a beautiful tree with great curves so ide hate to loose it. Here is a couple pics. Tell me what ya think. Thanks!

Trees' natural habitat is outside in the sunshine. Nobody brings in all the junipers from the wild when it rains a lot. They're equipped to handle it, far better than the hard pruning this one has endured.
Leave it alone outside and let it be until it shows signs of life(?) for a while. Might have spider mites too.

All of my 10 junipers are all outside from April-December, in the rain, wind, and sun. In the fall, I let them get a light frost and sometimes a light snow before I put them in the coldframe for the winter. They do not belong inside and will die if you keep them inside. Hate to say it but it might already be too late for this one but follow Brian's advice and see if it comes back.

Your pictures aren't clear enough to be sure but juniper foliage that's "brown and weak" usually means dead. Over pruning, crappy soil, keeping inside... can't be sure, but that tree is probably circling the drain. You'll know in the next month or so... in the meantime, put it in full sun and only water when the soil dry. As others have said, junipers need to be outside...
