Iron is an essential micronutrient for good plant, tree and shrub health. It is widely distributed in soils and fertilizers and application of iron should only be necessary when deficiency symptoms occur. It especially needs to be applied in areas where alkaline soils occur.
Deficiency symptoms would be chlorosis of young leaves or needles especially in wet or cool year.
