Yellow Leaves Aren’t Just a Color Change — They’re a Warning

Iron Chlorosis is more than cosmetic. It’s a serious nutrient deficiency that affects a tree’s ability to photosynthesize — turning green leaves pale, halting growth, and stressing the entire canopy. Left untreated, it leads to slow decline. Look closely and you’ll see the classic signs: yellowing between leaf veins while the veins stay dark. That contrast is your tree crying out for help — and iron. Utah Tree Care uses advanced iron injections to deliver nutrients directly to the root zone or vascular system. This method ensures faster uptake and long-lasting recovery from chlorosis. Once iron levels are restored, leaves regain their rich green hue.

More importantly, the tree rebounds with new energy — stronger roots, fuller canopy, and better resistance to environmental stress. We don’t just fix the problem — we help you understand it. Our team teaches clients how soil conditions, irrigation, and pH levels contribute to chlorosis and how to prevent future flare-ups.
