At the least, it will look better. OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: This opinion reflects only my opinion, not having had a juniper that got smoked during the cooking of a lovely outdoor dinner, and should be taken with a grain of salt. Or a dose of pineapple juice. On the rocks. With ice. Consult your horoscope. Consult the tree's horoscope. Don't use power tools to remove the dead foliage. Not for internal use. It is a violation of Federal law to remove the tag, unless you are the consumer, so eat the tree first. Etc.) Joanie hey, this makes it a lot more work to answer posts. But your mileage may vary.
