How To Correct Iron Chlorosis In Trees

by Roger Loper

Are your trees showing signs of yellowing leaves despite adequate watering and care? This frustrating condition often points to iron deficiency - one of the most common nutritional problems affecting trees in both residential and commercial landscapes. Fortunately, TrueNute Tree Iron Chelate FeEDDHA 6% offers a scientifically advanced solution to restore your trees' vitality.

Spotting Iron Deficiency: Know the Signs

Iron deficiency (iron chlorosis) manifests through clear visual cues:

  • Yellowing leaves with distinctive green veins (interveinal chlorosis)
  • Reduced growth and stunted development
  • Premature leaf drop
  • Declining overall vigor

These symptoms typically appear first on new growth and can affect various tree species including citrus, oaks, maples, and ornamental varieties. If you notice these warning signs, your trees are signaling for help.

Why TrueNute FeEDDHA 6% Outperforms Other Iron Supplements

Unparalleled pH Range Effectiveness

Unlike ordinary iron supplements that become ineffective in alkaline soils, TrueNute remains biologically available from pH 5.5 to 9.5. This makes it ideal for challenging soil conditions where other products fail.

Dual-Isomer Technology

Our specialized formula contains both ortho-ortho (4.8%) and ortho-para (1.2%) isomers. The ortho-ortho isomer provides immediate correction, while ortho-para offers extended release for protection lasting up to 12 months.

Rapid Chlorosis Correction

TrueNute quickly reverses yellowing foliage and restores healthy green growth by supporting chlorophyll synthesis - the engine of plant energy production.

How to Apply TrueNute Iron Chelate to Trees

  1. Identify affected trees showing yellowing leaves with green veins.
  2. Prepare solution: Mix 2-4 tablespoons of TrueNute per gallon of water.
  3. Loosen topsoil: Break up the top 1-2 inches of soil around the tree to enhance absorption.
  4. Apply slowly: Pour solution from drip line toward trunk, avoiding runoff.
  5. Repeat treatment: Reapply every three weeks, even during dormancy (when ground isn't frozen).

Important Application Note

FeEDDHA will stain porous surfaces (concrete, wood, fabric) red upon contact. Avoid spills on decks, patios, or walkways. Always store in the resealable bag to maintain product quality and prevent contamination.

Seasonal Application Tips for Best Results

  • Spring/Summer: Address active chlorosis with regular applications every 3 weeks
  • Fall/Winter: Continue treatments during dormancy - trees still uptake minerals and will emerge healthier in spring :cite[1]
  • Preventative Care: Use at first sign of yellowing rather than waiting for severe symptoms
