Re: Yellow leaves on several trees

One thing about iron and many other trace elements is that if the soil pH gets just a bit alkaline, the free iron gets all bound up chemically. So adding a chelating agent (iron treatment) can be a help, but sometimes it's the pH that's at fault.

One of the growers in the area started using a little industrial vinegar (his wife was in the sanitation business) mixed in when he watered, and I have never seen Cryptomeria that green outside of Japan!

Regards,

Matt
