My juniper is dying, i think it's because when i went on holidays i couldn't water it. Basically i have watered it ever since i came back (which wasn't that long ago). I have repotted it and pruned it however the needles are still yellow, maybe i just need to be patient?
so please tell me if i need any thing else (please no fertilizer!) or if i just need to do exactly what i'm doing and get some patience (just watering daily).

reviving a tree?
Even the most unfortunate try to reach a common goal, and thus, they shall be rewarded.
Being smart, is not trying to be smart.
the only reason critics say bad things is because they can't do it themselves.

Re: reviving a tree?
How long has it been without water while on holidays?. Junipers are one of those trees that once it starts going downhill it usually continues. Is it still green under the bark?, are the needles just yellow or have they started to drop off?. If no to both id get it in dappled sunlight, water only when it starts to dry out and mist the foliage regually. NO FERT for some time and im not sure repotting was a good thing for it, the tree was already stressed and not waterlogged. IF the answer was yes its gone. good luck
