Trees and shrubs are especially susceptible on soils containing calcium carbonate–lime. Although the chlorosis responds variously to iron compounds, it appears to be more complicated than a simple iron deficiency because yellow, chlorotic leaves sometimes contain more iron than healthy green leaves.
