Hello,
When working with a Juniper, take care to check for infestation of red spider mites; they are a common pest of this species. To check for infestation, look for yellow foliage. The next sign to be aware of is the presence of small spots underneath branches of your Juniper. If you think there is a spot, place a white piece of paper directly under the branch, and carefully tap on
it. If they are present, a few should land on the piece of paper and move.
Commercial insecticide is effective in ridding your tree of these harmful bugs.
After the insecticide has been on your Juniper for a full day, you should spray the foliage with water, though not in direct sun or heat. Another solution can be prepared at home by soaking tobacco in water overnight and spraying on the tree. The commercial insecticide works well, with no adverse side effects, so there is no real reason to try the home remedy.
