Chlorosis is a very common problem of oaks in Wisconsin, particularly in southern and eastern sections of the state. Pin oaks are most susceptible, but many white oaks also show this condition. Numerous valuable oak trees die from this disorder each year. Other trees, shrubs, and plants also can develop the tell-tale yellow coloration of chlorosis, which is usually caused by a micronutrient deficiency. Many maples and birches in eastern Wisconsin are particularly affected, though other deficiencies sometimes contribute to the symptoms.
