Vicki,

A sure indication that it might be dead is that if the needles are brown or brittle. All you have to do is touch them or lightly shake a branch and they will fall off!

I have saved "mallsai" before, but, you have to get there as soon as the stores get them in. We call them "mallsai" because they are mass produced bonsai for quick sale. Little care is given to them.

If your tree has rocks glued on top of the soil, remove them at once! The glue can seep into the soil and slowly poison the tree. The rocks on top will also suffocate the tree as well.

Yes, the Juniper is not an indoor tree, it will die if kept indoors. You can also do a scratch test to see if the trunk is still green?

Just some thoughts...
