Juniper yellowing

This juniper has been the bugbear of my life I obtained it from
a nursery some years ago for doing some work on his trees on the label
was "KOREAN JUNIPER" , every single year since I have had it
has grown full on and every year around this time it up and yellows 1/3
of the branches from the inside leaving only the tips lush green
does,nt matter what soil mix used, its treated with organic fertiliser and
a sequestered /seaweed tonic in case of an iron deficiency study: but
still this"BLEEPING" tree does the same thing.

It's a nice tree, but it looks like SOP for junipers around here.

Jim - wondering how apostrophes suddenly have become commas. (Or is it the other way around?)

Hi Jim comma! if it will stop the yellowing anyway around is good enough for me full stop

Hello Alex. Pic a bit blurry but it looks normal to me. Needle type Junipers do this every year. Looks like the old needles are dying.

Just a thought, and maybe way off base. Check the magnesium content of your fertilisers, they may be deficient. A slight magnesium deficiency will cause a premature yellowing and dropping of the older leaves.
