Common Tree and Shrub Problems & Solutions
If your trees or shrubs aren't looking their best, you're not alone. Explore common problems, recommended products, and simple steps you can take to help your plants recover and thrive.
Yellowing leaves
Yellow leaves are often caused by iron deficiency, poor nutrient uptake, drought stress, or unfavorable soil conditions.
Recommended Product: Omex Fe
- Helps correct deficiency
- Promotes deeper green colour
Additional Tips
- Water deeply during dry periods
- Apply Organohume to support root health
- Mulch around plants to conserve moisture
Brown Evergreens
Brown needles on cedars, spruce, and pines are often caused by drought stress, winter burn, transplant shock, or root damage. While some seasonal needle drop is normal, widespread browning can indicate that the tree is under stress.
Recommended Product: K25 Greenline
- Helps plants cope with heat and drought stress
- Supports overall plant health and resilience
Additional Tips
- Water deeply during hot, dry weather
- Browning that starts from the inside of the tree may be normal needle shed. Browning on branch tips of entire sections often indicates stress and should be investigated further
Poor Flowering
Poor flowering is often caused by insufficient nutrients, too much nitrogen, inadequate sunlight, improper pruning, or environmental stress. Healthy blooms require energy, strong roots, and balanced nutrition.
Recommended Product: NutriBoost
- Promotes blooms and fruit set
- Supports healthy growth and roots
Additional Tips
- Ensure plants receive adequate sunlight
- Avoid excessive nitrogen applications
- Prune at the correct time for your plant species
- Water consistently during bud and bloom development
