Yellown leaves of sweet chestnut #870027

Asked May 25, 2024, 6:06 AM EDT

Hello, I have a chestnut orchard which is outside US in a region where no one or only few are growing chestnuts therefore there is limited expertise and knowedge about growing and maintaining chestnuts. Every year I replant around 30-40 % of the orchard mainly due to delayed graft failure, nurseries that sell diseased trees and poor orchard management. That is why I am asking here. 

Recently I have noticed that some of the leaves of some of the trees are turning yellow and I am wondering what might be the cause and would it lead to tree dieback. I have applied biofertiliser Hemozim Bio N5. Thank you

Hi There:

Have you done a soil test? What is the pH? Do you provide supplemental water? How much fertilizer are you putting on? Where is the orchard located?
