Yellowing leaves on an otherwise healthy-looking tree are easy to dismiss as normal late-summer change, but across the Piedmont Triad's clay-heavy soil, it's often a sign of nutrient deficiency. Iron and manganese deficiencies commonly show up as yellowing between the leaf veins while the veins themselves stay green.
Clay soil throughout Kernersville and the surrounding area can lock up certain nutrients even when they're present in the ground, leaving roots unable to access what the tree needs.
Trees showing unusual yellowing this time of year across the Piedmont Triad are worth a closer look to understand what's happening beneath the surface.
