Leland Cypress Yellowing
I'm a bit conserned for the health of my Leland Cypress. Wanting big fast
growing trees to screen us from the road, we have been planting a number every year. We now have about 20 trees with heights from 2' to 9'. The past winter was a bit harsh and they are all now sort of a yellow green rather than a deep color. There had been lots of snow and now lots of rain, so I doubt they are drying out. Any thoughts?

Yellowing leaves or branches after lots of rain is usually an indication of
too much water sitting at the roots of the trees. They may improve once the weather warms and rain slows. They should dry out and you'll see some improvement in the color. Make sure that you don't have too much irrigation this summer if they are in a location where water gathers at their feet. Good luck. Penny Zone 7b - North Carolina "DavesVideo" wrote in message ...

Hi Dave your cypreeses may have Iron Chlorosis but not all of them at once.
Try Iron chelate on a few to see how they react. They need iron as a normal nutrient. Derryl "DavesVideo" wrote in message ... I'm a bit conserned for the health of my Leland Cypress.
