Where are you keeping your shimpaku juniper? My suspicion is that you are keeping this tree indoors and the tree has died. Junipers are outdoor plants and do not adapt well to an indoor environment. They thrive outdoors and will quickly decline and die indoors. Junipers (and most conifers) can hold their green color for many weeks or even months after they have died. You may not even notice the decline, but it will surely die indoors. Junipers do best will higher humidity than you can provide inside. They also do best in full sun, which is difficult to provide indoors. You would do best to find a spot outdoors for your juniper, or try your luck at something tropical such as a ficus. Here are a few links to help you get started. http://www.matsubonsai.com/blog/post/2008/05/How-to-Get-Started-in-Bonsai.aspx http://www.matsubonsai.com/blog/post/2008/03/Bonsai-Questions.aspx<br><b>References : </b><br>10 years of bonsai experience.
