Treatment with systemic iron implants into stem, trunk, or limbs of shrubs and trees has prevented chlorosis of numerous species of woody landscape plants. Included among the plants habitually chlorotic and responding positively to ferric ammonium citrate treatment were: Betula nigra, Betula pendula, Cornus florida, Cornus kousa, Halesia caroliniana, Hamamelis vernalis, Liquidambar styraciflua, Magnolia stellata, Magnolia virginiana, Photinia villosa, Pinus strobus, Quercus alba, Quercus coccinea, Quercus palustris, and Quercus phellos. Iron implants increased the chlorophyll level, iron content, and visual response of the foliage when compared to untreated plants.
