Hi,

I have a juniper tree. Recently I found that there are some leaves that are not the normal green (see photos). Is that normal? There are also some weird looking leaves where the top is fine but the bottom of the leaf is quite small.

Nothing wrong with it, the smaller needles is new growth, sometimes needles die.

Thank you. I'm keeping it outdoors. I thought its something to do with watering. It's mid spring here and I watered it daily except for some colder days where I water it every two days. Might wait till it dries up abit more now before watering, just in case.

Looks like a normal healthy plant.

Older foliage dies off. And sometimes young branches are damaged and die. Nothing to worry about.

Needle/leaf size varies with vigour, fertilizer, sun and water. It seems healthily growing now
