Ok, now that its nearing the end of January and things have heated up a bit, the Juniper above seems to look a lot better- the foliage seems to be more open and looking more healthy. Haven't really changed anything from what I was doing before, still gets about 4 hours of sun a day, it has been raining about twice a week and getting pretty soaked, so I havent been watering much.

My new question is this- there seems to be some new bright green foliage growing near the base of the previously decrepit looking foliage, on some of my other junipers as well- not a whole lot, just a few sprouts here and there that stand out. Is late January too early for this to be happening? it has been pretty warm here, (50's in the day, high 30's at night)- should I try to keep my junipers a little colder (like on the north side of the house, until spring starts?
