Why is my Maple Tree leaf's turning yellow and brown? #797098
Asked June 21, 2022, 4:49 PM EDT
I live in Carver and the maple in front our our house leafed out fine but quickly the green leaf's are turning yellow and then getting brown spots. Many are drying and curling up and falling off.
Thanks

This looks like iron chlorosis or manganese deficiency. Maples are vulnerable to both. Read more at the following websites and compare with what you are seeing.

A first step would be to get a soil test. See: https://soiltest.cfans.umn.edu/
