Just noticed this in one of my Ash trees (Las Vegas Nevada) and yours is the first video which was helpful. Thanks!

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

Glad it helped! Hope it goes well

[@spacefabi]

I have a potted pepper plant showing signs of iron deficiency. Im catching it a bit late, thought it may be a bug issue and now the tips are growing in pure white. I'll give this a try

[@mnbvmnbv54]

man your channel is a gem among the gardening community.. The kind of detailed explanations i kinda need. :D thank you mate, and cheers!

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

Cheers! Have a good one

[@clairebailey2558]

Thank you for all the info - I just planted my first lemon tree a little while ago (I live in QLD) and found that it had a little iron deficiency but all sorted now thanks for your help :)

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

No problem Claire, that's good that its fixed now. Good luck with it, cheers!

[@arielcortez7393]

[@robertsanders339]

Thank u for explaining it simple U I hope saved my advocodo plants

[@JBNetBreaker]

Great verse at the end, God bless you brother!

[@austin2842]

I discovered from a home soil test that I have really high phosphate, which locked up iron and zinc. My pH is fine at 6.75. Plants in the area are stunted with yellowing leaves. I'm planning to try the foliar spray.

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

Yeah that'll happen, hope it works out well for you!

[@fatmaalnajjar6222]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you

Thanks for the help my Clementine tree looks to have an iron deficiency and has a 7.8ph level so I think I have found the problem thanks to you thanks!

No problem! Hope it goes well for you, cheers!

[@tatemiller6651]

Thank you so much for explaining this! I just started watering my tropicals with fish water from a local nursery & soon noticed larger new growth but with slight yellowing. I’m curious to hear your opinion on miracle gro fertilizer if you’ve ever use it?

[@lougus7076]

How do you know if it’s iron or manganese??

[@djJohnieD]

Magnesium is mobile .. meaning it moves from lower leaves to new leaves when needed . So you see deficiency in low leaves ….if it is iron then you see it on top

[@alexwilliams1108]

thank you for the info

No worries Alex, have a good one

[@putinhynes3848]

Have you noticed any short brown worms on your leaves. I found 2 on my tree.

[@misstwinkle3142]

What is sequestered iron which is what is available in the uk gardening shops

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

Yeah its the same thing

[@lebeer1512]

The iron make fruit sweet why my mango one year so sweet next year it not please tell me what I need doesn’t iron make fruit sweet

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

Iron doesn't contribute much to why the fruit is sweet, its to do with the sugars that the plant makes and how concentrated they are. Cheers and have a good one!

[@lebeer1512]

Thanks for answer can’t you please help me how and what kind of fertilizer make fruit sweet thanks

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

Well there's no specific fertiliser that helps directly with sweetening fruit. Instead you a fertiliser that's based on what you're growing (fruit trees, vegetables etc) and look out for any deficiencies that the plant may have and use a specific nutrient to correct a deficiency if it occurs. So try to aim for growing a healthy tree that has adequate growth, which will help to reach a high photosynthetic rate of the foliage and the sweetness of the fruit will take care of itself! Hope that helps you out, cheers!

[@lebeer1512]

Thanks so much have a good new year’s

No worries! Thanks & you too!

[@lazyman5294]

can I use iron rust water as a souce of iron?

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

I wouldn't think so Supriya, but you could give it a try! Cheers 👍

[@nadeem5476]

yes you can. I have tried and results were positive.

I don't think so because rust is oxidised iron, so it no longer has the element the plants need. Of course I could be wrong.

[@matthewronson5218]

If you look up "Improvement iron deficiency of plants | Grow healthy plants ujjwal mitra" he demonstrates with example that YES, this works.

[@timmay676]

My oranges are tooo sour . What can I do ? Please help thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

Honestly can't help much without any other info. Whats its position, what kind of soil, how much water and sunlight does it get? My first thought would be that it can't photosynthesize enough sugars for the amount of fruit it produces, but without knowing any other info its a long shot. Would love to hear back from you though to try and help out, cheers Tim

[@Andriux999]

I live in cool climate country and i have a mandarin that's about 8years old and i just get him inside during cold season and everything was doing well but right this year at the beginning of the autumn fist his leafs started to get brown marks than huge amount of them have fallen.And right now it has 1 big leaf 2 baby leafs and a lot of buds on his bark and near branches and most of the branches have brown tips and some of them are whole affected. Im very worried maybe its because this autumn was very hot like summer and suddenly it got cold about 8degrees celsius or its because of the overwater or its because i pruned some branches before that happened 😔

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

G'day Aundrius! Yeah sounds like it could be a type of rot, caused either by over-watering or from a disease entering in after pruning while the cuts are still sealing themselves. Could maybe try pruning off those affected parts and then using a pruning sealant (like steri-prune) to prevent further rot from occurring in the new cuts. Hope it goes well for you mate, let me know how it goes, cheers.

[@MrsGreenThumb]

I have been watching your video's and enjoying them. Would love to be friends with you. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@marsellsuhaimi8802]

Hi Jacob, Thank you for your video. Just wondering, can the yellowish leaves turn to green once the PH lower and Iron deficiency fix? Or just the new leaves? Thank you.

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

The affected leaves should still remain yellow as iron is a nutrient that stays in the same area of the plant once uptaken from the soil and "deposited" in the required area of the plant. The new leaves will be green though if the problem is fixed. Cheers Marsell

[@VimalKumar-qm8cs]

does chelated iron or chelated micronutrients in powder form expire in 3 or 4 years . i have bought it and box say expiry date is 3 year

[@JacobsBackyardGardening]

Yes it usually does, even for most fertilisers. This is usually because over time they react with the atmosphere and can change their effectiveness/ Hope that helps Vimal, have a good one!

[@camille6365]

is Ferrous Sulfate heptahydrate the same as Chelated iron?
