    I have s beautiful Japanese snowbell that’s been in the ground for 5 years and has been doing very well until just recently. I believe that it probably has chlorosis as the new leaves are coming light green with dark veins. I believe it is getting sufficient water as since we are in a drought I am giving it extra water when it is dry 3 inches down. We have acidic soil here so I don’t think that is the problem. I have a product, Quick Green with Iron, that I’ve used on other new trees but I don’t know how much I should give a 12ft tree with an 8 inch calliper. It is mixed with water and a couple gallons doesn’t seem to be enough for this size of tree. Does anyone have any thoughts on how much the tree might need?
    Thanks

    Sample your soil and have it analyzed first.
