Taiyo Peony Tree Yellow Leaves
| | |
Posted by wdw.addict 10 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 9, 09 at 16:09
| I purchased a lovely 4 year old Taiyo peony tree in a 5 gallon pot last year with 3 buds. This year I have no buds and yellowing leaves. The tree is still in the pot and when there is sun it gets 6 hours of morning/early afternoon sun. I did not fertilize it.
I hope the yellowing leaves is not a sign that the tree is dying. Does anyone have suggestions how to reverse or improve the leaf color?
Thanks in advance.

| Do you notice the leaf veins are green but the leaf is yellow? this condition is called chlorosis and generally is caused by an iron deficiency. I would recommend a good fertilizer containing all the minors. If you intend to keep it permanently in a container, I would repot into a larger container with a long life well drained mix. Tree peonies do not need as much chilling as herbaceous but in zone ten you may be having a chilling deficiency. Al |
