    this leaf is off a flowering cherry, it seems to be effecting the last lot of newest leaves plus a few of the more mature ones. i thought it was a lack of iron, or a lack of nitrogen but i'm not sure now any ideas? [​IMG]

    Hi stez, how big is the tree and is it well established.
    It does look like a mineral deficiency, probably iron, if its a smallish tree or not been planted long a few feeds with a good liqid fertiliser containing trace elements might well sort it out.

    Hi Stez, I agree with Pete it`s iron deficiency, I would try giving it sulphate of iron. David.
