Skyrocket Juniper/zone 4/Omaha


Question
I have had Skyrocket Junipers for about 7 years and within the last two weeks about 5 of them look like they are dying.  At first it was just one and now the others.  6 of them are planted in a row and 2 look just perfect, but not the rest.  The other is in a completely different area. I am at a loss.  I don't want to lose them.  Any advice?  If you need additional information, let me know.

Thank You

Answer
I would say it was the drought--I think Omaha like other parts of the US was below normal for rainfall during June-July. If it has not rained for several days go ahead and water them. If it does not rain for a week I would suggest watering the trees again --give them 1 inch of water each week-put a pan under the tree when the sprinkler is running and when the pan has 1 inch of water in it stop.
