Expert Response
Your juniper is most likely dead. You could wait until spring to see if any new green needles appear but I doubt if they will. Comparing the size of that tree with the other two, it is apparent that it never thrived. The other two are taller and fuller. It would guess there is a problem either with the ground in that area, next to a building, or with the roots. Quite often there is buried building material close to buildings which taint the soil. Or it was not planted properly. Your landscape will not suffer from taking that tree out. As the other two grow, it would be too crowded for three trees.
These are very good points. Thank you so much for the response!
