Do you have a picture? If not, what makes you think it is reviving if the foliage remains brown? Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

See if they are damaged and if they have dried out and are brittle. If they are then cut the roots and the top back hard. Remove all the brittle foliage. Leave as much green foliage as you can. If you have no green foliage then bring it as soon as you can to your local bonsai supplier.

sounds like it might be beyond help..
usually when junipers go brown they have been dead for some time.

Hi Frank,

This method could be very useful in some climates. It might be the kiss of death where I live, especially if it's done in summer.

Regards,

Matt
