MF718 Iron Chlorosis in Trees

by Dennis W. Carlson

  • Published Date: May 1984
  • Revision Date: Sep 2003
Symptoms, causes and treatment for iron chlorosis: If a tree's leaves turn yellow, this may mean a tree is not able to absorb enough iron from soil, due to high soil pH. Spraying iron solutions on tree leaves can help temporarily, and reducing soil pH helps in the longer term. 4-page.
