The leaves on my tree/shrub are yellowing, what’s wrong?

It may be suffering from a lack of iron, as stated above, or it may be in an area that's too wet for its liking. Overwatering kills more plants than underwatering; you may want to look up the specific plant and its requirements to see what it needs in terms of light, water and soil type.

i feel it is going dead
Reply:Yellowing can be a sign of several different problems. But, one of the most common is iron deficiency. Iron chlorosis is identifiable by the yellowing of the leaf while the veins remain green. To treat this problem the plant needs to be fed iron. Chelated iron is the most readily available source. We have both liquid and granular formulas available. If a lack of iron isn’t the problem, don’t hesitate talking to one of our staff members to determine the cause of and the solution to the problem. It is always helpful to bring in a sample of the problem plant
Reply:The first step in diagnosis of what is wrong with your trees is to see if it is being caused by something going on internally or being caused by some external pest.





Look to see if there are any visible signs of insects on the leaves, or if there has been any damage to the bark of the tree, removing large portions of bark can cause problems.





The most common problem as been mentioned is Deficiencies of iron and/or manganese which cause yellowing of the leaves, (almost spotted on birtches) it could be the nutrients are in the soil by the ph of your soil is inhibiting plant abosorption. I suggest getting your soil tested, most garden centers will either do the service for you, or you can purchase small testing kits, and educate yourself on the specific needs for your trees. Some arborists also offer this service.





Another common problem is moisture either too wet or too dry.





If you cannot figure out the problem yourself either contact a local arborist (visit the www.treesaregood.com to find a certified ISA Arborist in your Area) or local garden center
Reply:pls observe if the plant in pots once u provid waterr, it should dry by evening, if it is in same wate condition pls check for the drainage or may be lac of water or the plant required shade
Reply:IF YOUR FOLIAGE IS YELLOW TO GREEN THE POSSIBLE CAUSES ARE: 1. NUTRIENT DIFICIENCIES, 2. POOR ROOT HEALTH DUE TO COMPACTED SOIL, POOR DRAINAGE, OR GIRDLING ROOTS, 3. WINTER DRYING, 4. ROOT OR CROWN INJURY, 5. AIR POLLUTION, 6. SOIL PH LOWER THAN 5 OR HIGHER THAN NEUTRAL (ALKALINE), 7. HERBICIDE INJURY, 8. MITES OR SCALE. IF YOUR LEAVES ARE YELLOW TO PALE GREEN AND THE VEINS OF THE LEAF ARE BRIGHT GREEN IT'S IRON OR MANGANESE DEFICIENCY. NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY IS ALL BASED UPON TH PH OF THE SOIL. DO A SOIL PH TEST. IF THE SOIL HAS A PH ABOVE NEUTRAL ( ALKALINE), ANYWAY YOU CAN GIVE IRON TO THE TREE WILL HELP. IRON IS IN THE SOIL BUT IT'S BOUND UP AND NOT RELEASED BECAUSE OF THE SOIL PH. THIS WILL NEED TO BE DONE ON A MAINTENANCE BASIS PROBABLY YEARLY BECAUSE IRON ONLY GOES UP AND WHEN IT'S UTILIZED IT'S GONE. IT'S THE ONLY MINERAL THAT DOESN'T GO DOWN. YOU CAN HIRE AN ARBORIST THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GET IRON TO TREES AT THE SAME TIME HE CAN TREAT THE SOIL PH PROBLEM BY INJECTING A WATER SOLUBLE SULFER AT A RATE TO LOWER THE SOIL PH WHILE HE IS PERFORMING FERTILIZATION, THIS WILL NEED TO BE DONE TWICE A YEAR AT A RATE TO LOWER SOIL PH. IT TAKES ABOUT ONE YEAR TO LOWER THE SOIL PH JUST ONE UNIT. THIS MAY NEED TO BE DONE ON A CONTINUING BASIS BECAUSE THE SOIL PROBABLY HAS A BUFFERING CAPACITY THAT RESISTS CHANGE. ALSO, THE WATER SUPPLY AT THE LOCATION PROBABLY ALSO HAS A HIGH PH ALWAYS WORKING AGAINST YOU.
Reply:It is lack of iron in the soil, get some Sulphate of iron from your local nursery or hard ware.
Reply:may be the climate is not right for them....or they need more water you giving them less....or you overdoes the water, while they need less.
Reply:it depends upon the amount u water it..it may also happen due to changes in climate...
