Prostrate Juniper problem - Need help

[pagenie]

Our prostrate junipers are turning brown underneath. What is the problem and what should we do?

Thanks,

Hi Carol,
You don't say which variety of prostrate juniper you have and you might not know, but the 'Blue Chip' is a common one and tends to dry out and get brown in the center as it gets older. Here's a quote from this site.

It may just be time to replace them if you can't discover any other problems mentioned in the article.

Good luck,
Newt
