Shimpaku Juniper - is it dead?

Hi everyone - I went away for vacation for about 2 weeks last fall, and didn't arrange someone to take care of it.

When I was home, the plant was covered in I believe some kind of mini spider webs. I sprayed water and got rid of them.

But the leaves seem to be turning browner, and the leaves fall off easily. Having said that, I do see some new needles coming out too.

Is this plant dead? Any recommendation to save it?

Hate to say it. But it's a goner. Sorry.

What he said.

Yup. Try again, and be a bit more concerned about your trees when you leave for more than a couple of days.
