Hi,
I bet you are over watering the roots.When this happens the roots become sick and stop supplying the foliage with moisture casuing a wilting effect and sudden foliage droppings.I almost re-learned this lesson with a 300 dollar scheff trunk this fall,I cut back on the waterings and presto...I can sleep at night again.I had been watering the plant often for summer heat,when I brought it back indoors it's needs changed.
The browning thing for junipers..they are a conifer and will hold color for months after death..the same as your xmas trees...not one single root on the poor things but will look pretty for a month or 2.Scheffs on the otherhand throw out warning signs such as yours.
