I have a tree in my front yard that appears to have extreme chlorosis. I just learned that's likely what it is. I know very little about trees. It started out with a couple lower branches that appeared to be dead, and eventually spread to half the tree. See attached images.
The tree was planted about 15 years ago along with many others (some of the same species and some others) in the vicinity. None of the other trees seem to be exhibiting similar symptoms. The tree has been struggling a bit the past few years, but the bulk of the leaf loss occurred in the latter part of this summer. It seemed to happen rapidly. There have not been any changes to the landscaping or watering in that area in recent years. We have a sprinkler system that run regularly and the grass and surounding plants/flowers appear to be healthy. The soil has a lot of clay. This is an urban area. Old homes were torn down to rebuild on the lot where this tree was planted around 2003.
1. Is this tree even salvageable, or is it too far gone to save?
2. If it looks like it could be saved, what can I do to quickly stave of the Chlorosis?
3. What should I do long term to prevent Chlorosis?
Thanks!
