Chinese Pistache Tree Problems in Midwest?
Comments (2)I've been researching verticillium wilt, and I don't think it is that. The leaves aren't wilting and the branches aren't drooping. I did some research on rapid growth cracks, which sometimes occur during periods of wet weather immediately following hot, dry weather. I don't know if the spotted leaves and the ctracked bark are related or not. It's now dormant and has shed its leaves, so its hard to determine anyhting else. I'll probably just wait until Spring and see what happens. If the symptoms continue to worsen next summer, I may replace it....See MoreI thought Chinese Pistache trees turned red??
Comments (18)My frosty yard isn’t good for late- coloring trees (Except oaks, which don’t seem to care about typical November freezes) And in fact, I was about to post that various red oaks seemed better than normal this year. Could just be that they are standing out better, since various other trees look awful. I see oaks that hold onto to a bright red color for a really long time, I wonder if any have been selected for that?...See MoreChinese elm update please ! regarding yellow leaves
Comments (5)I'm with Mary on the chelated iron. Give it a good dose of Chelated iron, and I believe that will help. I have a Bradford Ornamental Pear in my front yard. I planted it for the red leaves it gets in fall which it does...but they dont' last very long. Knowing what I know now, 14 years later, wish I would have planted a Chinese Pistache instead. Anyway...sorry, wondering off topic. I took a can of chelated iron and springled all the way around the tree, the length of it's canopy. Before doing this the leaves were sickly yellow...amost white. Within three weeks after the application the leaves had turned a deep rich, shiney, emerald green, and it had lots of healthy new growth. It looks better this year than it has ever looked, and should provide wonderful fall red color. Easy...See MoreWhat is wrong with my Chinese pistache?
Comments (11)Bostedo, you just did exactly what I warned against-switched magnesium-Mg, for manganese-Mn. Gotta watch that-two very different things. When we talk about iron deficiencies, manganese deficiency is often also in the picture, or at least, is caused by the same too-high pH. But the magnesium that keeps getting mixed in here is the opposite case-commonly available at higher pHs...and less so at low, acidic ones. So to recap, manganese deficiency can occur for certain plant species when the soil pH is too high. Magnesium deficiency would never occur just due to that condition. Magnesium=easily available at soil pH above 7.0 or neutral. Manganese=easily available at soil pH below 7.0 or neutral. Much needless confusion here. It's just two words that happen to be similar. But the elements which they represent could not act more differently in the soil environment....See Moregreenman28 NorCal 7b/8a
