Why does my birch tree have yellow leaves and what can I do about it?
If a birch tree has yellow leaves, lack of water, lack of light or disease may be the causes. This can be remedied by providing sufficient water, more light and, if illness is suspected, an accurate diagnosis.
Birch has yellow leaves – possible reasons
When the birch leaves slowly change color to a deep golden yellow in autumn, this corresponds to nature's natural cycle. However, if in other months your tree suddenly has yellow leaves amidst the otherwise magnificent green, there can be three main reasons.
- Water shortage
- Lack of light
- Diseases
Fighting yellow leaves
Offer the birch more water and provide it with more light. If the tree does not respond to this, the birch tree could have diseases, fungi or pests. In this case, the yellowing and subsequent shedding of the leaves serves self-regulation and recovery. In general, birch trees simply tend to have yellow leaves in some years. So if the first most important points, light and water, are secured, you don't need to intervene any further.
