[IBC] Chlorosis - was Fertilizer salts
 

Late summer chlorosis has usually indicated a treatable mineral
deficiency in my trees. My English oak often becomes chlorotic in
August/September and is rapidly greened up with a small dose of Epsom
salts (teaspoon to the gallon). In other cases I have successfully used
trace element "frit" at the next repot or watered with fertiliser
containing the full spectrum of plant nutrients.

"I have experienced some chlorosis on one or two of my trees, although
usually not until later in the summer, from time to time. Other than
continuing routine fertilization I have never tried to do anything about
it,
although I probably should. I would be interested to hear if you
eventually
can correct your situation."

[IBC] Chlorosis - was Fertilizer salts
 

Thanks Kevin, this summer if I notice the chlorosis again I'll try a shot of
Epson salts. I use Peters 20-20-20 fertilizer, which is supposed to supply
micro nutrients, but maybe some of the trees aren't getting all they need.

Regards,
