I have a 25 to 30 foot red oak that appears to have iron chlorosis. It has deteriorated over the last two years, and about a 1/4 of it has not leafed out this year. I'm very concerned about losing it, but am having difficulty finding someone knowledgeable to look at it.

If you are seeing iron chlorosis that severe, you have to treat it by injecting ferric ammonium citrate directly into the trunk. This is not a viable long-term solution, since the treatment only lasts about a year and therefore the tree gets wounded annually. We are currently performing some experiments to find longer lasting treatments, but we're only about six months into the study. I recommend injecting the tree as a stop-gap measure and sampling the soil to develop a long-term plan. Lowering the pH is a long and difficult process, but is the best long-term solution. All of that can be determined through soil analysis. Please contact us to schedule an appointment. For an accurate assessment, a certified arborist needs to inspect the chlorotic tree.

[empty string] [empty string] <h2>An integrated approach to managing pests and diseases</h2><p>Bartlett Tree Experts uses an integrated approach to managing insects and diseases that begins with maintaining plant health using sound cultural practices including pruning and creating optimal soil conditions for plant growth. Periodic inspections are essential to detect pest infestations before they reach damaging levels. Bartlett arborists are trained to recognize beneficial insects that will help naturally suppress pest populations, and we also release beneficials to augment existing populations. When treatments are necessary, Bartlett can apply organic and natural-based materials and reduced-risk products that provide effective pest suppression while protecting people and the environment.</p><p>Hundreds of insect species damage leaves, stems, and branches; roots; and flowers and fruit of landscape plants. But not all insects on trees and shrubs are damaging. Some are beneficial and may help pollinate flowers or could be predators or parasites on insects that damage plants. Bartlett arborists are trained to correctly identify these beneficial insects and mites and can devise effective management programs that protect landscape plants from serious damage while conserving beneficial organisms.</p><p>Diseases are abnormalities in trees and shrubs caused by microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria and by environmental stress such as drought, temperature extremes, and air pollution. Diseases are often difficult to diagnosis as different causal agents can produce similar symptoms. Accurate diagnosis is essential to developing effective treatment programs. Bartlett operates a modern diagnostic laboratory to support pest management services to ensure accurate identification and treatment of plant problems.</p> We use an integrated approach to manage pests and tree diseases.
