What is wrong with this Redtwig Dogwood?

Hi,

This Redtwig dogwood lost its variegation in the past and now it looks like this. We are getting a soil test done. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the issue is?

Thanks,

Iron chlorosis, maybe.

 

Thanks. Yes that is what I've thought might be happening as some other things in the garden look like they lack iron too. I will report back here with the test results.

 

Various things cause variegations, iron deficiency more likely in desert regions than Vancouver.

 

Check that you have good drainage and add peat moss to the soil.
