Redbud #885233

Asked September 14, 2024, 11:27 AM EDT

My young northern redbud gets yellowish leaves. The veins stay green. See photo from last year. This year isn’t as bad. A somewhat nearby neighbor also has a young redbud and it looks worse than mine this year.

Hennepin County Minnesota

Possibly iron chlorosis. Get a soil test first to possibly identify the problem.  https://soiltest.cfans.umn.edu/
