Fusilade is a good option to use for crabgrass and other grassy weeds in juniper as directed on the product label. As far as timing for a pre-emergent like Snapshot, it should be applied before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees.

You may also contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region.

You can also utilize an arborist in your area to inspect the tree for any signs that could be causing the decline like lack of nutrients, insects, or disease.
