The Curse of Iron Chlorosis
November/December 2004
Jeremy Johnson, JohnsonÕs Nursery Buyer, KS Certified Nursery Professional

    For those of you who read the cover article in our September issue
of "Garden Talk," this is old news; but if that somehow escaped you we
have a new service to offer that may be able to reduce many of your
ongoing garden/landscape headaches.

    Based on proven research, we have developed a treatment to correct
iron chlorosis (Y E L L O W   L E A V E S !!!!) in Pin Oaks, Sweetgums,
Red Maples and any other tree that is suffering from this nutrient
deficiency. Our treatment is not what you find with many other services
where they hang some sort of I.V. bag on the tree. We are trying to
correct the soil chemistry to let the trees find iron that is already in
the soil. Our method is unique in that we auger holes in the soil around
the dripline of your tree and backfill with a proven combination of
nutrients and fertilizers. There is no drilling into the trunk, no bag
hanging on your tree, just a few 3" diameter holes in the ground around
the tree, and we are finished!

    If you are interested in having someone take a look at your
situation, or would just like for us to come out and fix your trees,
please give us a call today at 943-6886.
