Brief:
- Juniper chinensis “Spartan”, is dioecious evergreen conifer native to China, Mongolia, and the Himalayas.
Possible Causal agent:
- Irrigation: Junipers and Cypress varieties are not very fond of moist or wet soils. Root rot may occur, particularly if plants are in wet, poor drained soils
- Twig Blight: Junipers are generally susceptible to tip and needle blight caused by the fungus Phomopsis junipeovova.
- Sucking Piercing Insects: Common insects of Junipers are scales, bagworms, aphids, and spider mites
