Hey everyone!

I have recently purchased a juniperus chinensis bonsai tree. Before the purchase, we noticed a slight yellowing of the branches, which the seller said was normal. However, we are getting quite worried, having read that such yellowing is likely to be caused by a sickness or other problems. I have attached some pictures of the tree to this post – we would appreciate to hear your opinion on the tree's condition.

Thanks!

Looks absolutely fine to me, as long as it is outside in good sunlight it will be fine.

I am not cnovinced. I see clear discoloration on a number of parts in the canopy. Have you checked for spidermites and juniper scale?

I am not convinced nothing is going on.

Thanks for your message. At first inspection, we haven’t found any spider mites or scale insects; however, we are quite inexperienced in this. I’ve included some pictures of the most worrying parts of the tree, perhaps you could tell us whether you see anything unusual. Thanks again
