Chinese Elm has Yellow Leaves....
l purchased a Chinese Elm online. It took the tree 6 days to get here. The Chinese Elm came from California. The soil was moist and it had a platic bag wrapped around it's pot to keep it moist.
Here's the problem..when I undid the plastic bag..it was growing some white fuzz because of the moisture. The tree actually does have live moss on top of the soil. The tree had some yellow leaves just a few then and I was thinking it was due to all the moisture. My room is about 80 degrees. The tree is by the window where it does get some sun/shade. The leaves however are still turning yellow. I'm not sure what is going on?! The Chinese Elm still has moist soil. It looks healthy. The trip could of been stressful. But the tree had not one branch broken during the shipment. The nursery did very well at shipping. I am not sure if the leaves are going yellow because of the moisture problem, but I read the Chinese Elm goes into dormacy...could it be doing that? Or is that to soon? Some trees here outside are already getting yellow leaves because they are changing into season. It seems that the very top of the tree is suffering the most with yellow leaves. Here is the tree-   Last edited by RubiesFire82 : 21-Sep-2007 at 07:54 PM. |

Well from the photos, I can't see too many yellow leaves. It might be that if it was previously growing outside, in a very warm, but dry environment, perhaps the humidity in the bag was too extreme a change for it and it set up a chain of events inside those leaves that is resulting in the yellowing leaves. From what I see it does look pretty healthy and it might be that it will need to shed some leaves before it gets back on its feet. But I have found that chinese elm are pretty hardy and I'll bet that it will bounce back.
Will you keep it inside or do you plan on keeping it outside through the winter. I have done it both ways although the windowsill that the inside ones were on was very bright and cool as I turned off the heat register that was under the window. Good luck with your new tree. |
