What causes manganese chlorosis in maples?

High pH is most often the factor in the yellowing manganese chlorosis seen in maples. The 16% elemental sulfur in the spike lowers the pH in the feeding area, creating an environment that helps the plant take up manganese, which is essential for producing chlorophyll. The small amount of nitrogen in the spike also assists with this uptake.

What are the symptoms of manganese deficiency?

Manganese deficiency affects the new emerging leaves:

• Yellowing and necrosis between the veins
• A reduction in leaf size
• As the deficiency becomes severe, new leaves wither and have a "frizzled" look

If not promptly treated, manganese deficiency is often fatal to the red maple.

Why use TreeHelp Maple Manganese Spikes?

• Easy to use: Hammer the spikes into the ground around the tree and water. Or use the TreeHelp Soil Drill to make holes and insert the spikes, which increases soil aeration and is easier to apply.

The number of spikes will vary with the severity of the deficiency.
