Juniper off colour

G'day everyone,
Why is my Juniper Procumbens yellowing off. It's not dieing back as when I pinch a tip off it is still very much alive but the whole tree has steadily been losing its lush green colour and going a little yellowish.

G'day Ken,
Thanks for your reply.
No I can't see any bugs and no I hadn't put any fertilizer on it until last night.I hope you are right and the lack of fertilizer is the issue.
I thought it could have been that so chucked some slow release on and gave a water with seasol.
Do you think it could be an issue with over watering? All my other tree's are doing fine. The soil doesn't feel too wet. Don't want to lose the little guy

Ken has given good advice but you could probably remove it from its pot and check the root system to see if it is to wet or dry or has bugs. Sometimes we also have to accept that trees die for no apparent reason.

From what I can see, there's nothing wrong with it, doesn't look yellow at all.
Cheers,
Mojo

Come on Mojo, don't be like that just say - a picture would give a lot more clues Bebbas and we might be able to help instead of just guessing
