Flowering Almond Looking Ill
Our flowering almond has had yellowing leaves with green veins for the past few years. We’ve tried treating it with chelated iron, but no luck. Please help.

Thank you for the image it helps a lot. I do see the green veins and it could be that the iron you applied cannot get to the plant due to the too high or too low of acidity in the soil. If you live in an area of low rainfall then your soil may be too alkaline but in an area of high rainfall your soil may be too acidic for nutrients to become available to the plant. A soil test will confirm this. Lime will make a soil less acid and aluminum sulphate helps to acidify a soil that is too alkaline. Adding organic matter such as a compost mulch will help any soil. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
