Pale yellow leaves with green veins are a common sign of nutrient trouble in Bakersfield trees, and alkaline soil is often the cause.
Many soils in the southern San Joaquin Valley have a high pH that locks up iron and manganese, so roots cannot absorb them even when they are present. Sweetgums, silver maples, and some oaks tend to show symptoms first. General-purpose lawn fertilizer rarely solves the problem.
General Tree Service's Tree and Plant Healthcare program evaluates the tree, the soil, and irrigation before recommending treatment. Solutions may include targeted nutrient applications, soil amendments, or changes to watering practices.
Serving Bakersfield, Arvin, Delano, McFarland, Taft, Tehachapi, and Wasco, the family-owned company pairs generations of local experience with modern arboricultural science and an ISA-certified arborist on staff.
