| I live in north Tucson and I've have a Juniper pine bonsai since about April this year. It was doing great but just about a month ago it started to become very dry and the pine needles are turning hard and falling off. I water it and spray it every day. Is there anything I can do or is it too late? |

| If I thought it were still alive, I'd advise you to stop spraying it... But, honestly, it sounds too late. What size is the container, and what color/material? If the tree is brittle, it's too late. Josh |

| Hi - the problem is watering every day. The soil that Junipers (which are NOT Pines, even if they are both conifers) are planted in needs to be allowed to dry out almost all the way between waterings (tho' they should be good ones when they are done). You can't treat bonsai (trees) like house plants, and Josh is right about they're needing to live outside for life. |
