Iron Chlorosis in Utah
The beautiful and diverse terrain of Utah can range from icy mountains to dry desert. In the most arid parts of the state, the dry climate leads to soils that have limited amounts of iron available for use by roots – especially during the summer heat! Limited iron in soil can cause trees and shrubs to develop an iron deficiency known as “iron chlorosis,” turning their leaves yellow or brown and resulting in death of branches or worse…an unsalvageable tree.
Chlorosis commonly affects maple and oak trees, but can take hold of other tree and shrub species as well. Fertilization is the key to improving drought tolerance, encouraging fine root growth, stimulating essential microbial activity, and fortifying stressed trees. SavATree offers an Iron Macro Infusion Treatment, a trunk-injection designed to provide three years of “green-up” for suffering trees, that can help fight chlorosis.
