Vine Maple leaves yellowing #878640

Asked July 24, 2024, 6:18 PM EDT

Our mature Vine Maple tree leaves are turning yellow and shriveled. Is this probably due to the heat? No sign of aphids. Should we try deep watering, or feeding? Thanks

Lane County Oregon

Expert Response

Many conditions can cause chlorosis in trees. The most common are various nutrient deficiencies, extreme pH levels or drought. Sometimes these conditions can combine to create more favorable conditions for chlorosis, and this past July’s heat and drought may have contributed to an increase in these occurrences.

Thank you. I guess we’ll hope for the best, and keep watering it, hoping it puts out new growth next spring.
