Symptoms
Deficiency leads to characteristic chlorotic yellowing, and sometimes bleaching, of new leaf growth. Leaf veins remain green.
The severity of the chlorosis increases towards the youngest leaves at the tip of the shoot.
Under severe deficiencies, leaf scorch occurs.
Reasons
Iron deficiency
Problems are more common on high pH calcareous soils, rich in Ca and Mg carbonates, or where soils are waterlogged.
Plums - Chlorosis
