We planted an Amur Maple last year. It's 5-6 feet high. We have clay soil so we added compost to the hole with the original soil.
As time went on, the leaves started to turn yellow, then brown and crispy. This happened long before fall.
Someone suggested iron chlorosis, and that I should give it iron chelate.
If I give the tree the iron, and it doesn't have chlorosis, will I do it further harm? Should I wait to see what happens in the spring before I add anything? Could it have just been shocked after being taken out of a pot that it had been in for so long? I really like the leaves and the fall color of this type of tree, so I don't want it to die because of my lack of knowledge and TLC.
Any suggestion?
