Description

TreeHelp Birch Tree Manganese Supplement Spikes treat the yellowing manganese chlorosis often seen in birch trees and shrubs. Each spike contains a full 20% manganese sulfate and 16% elemental sulfur, and the spikes are proudly made in the USA.

What causes manganese chlorosis in birch?

High pH is often a factor in the yellowing manganese chlorosis seen in birch trees and shrubs. The 16% elemental sulfur in the spike lowers the pH in the feeding area, creating an environment that helps the plant take up manganese, which is essential for producing chlorophyll. The small amount of nitrogen in the spike also assists with this uptake.

What are the symptoms of manganese deficiency?

Manganese deficiency affects the new emerging leaves:

  • Yellowing and necrosis between the veins
  • A reduction in leaf size
  • As the deficiency becomes severe, new leaves wither and have a "frizzled" look

If not promptly treated, manganese deficiency will result in an overall health decline and can be fatal to birch trees.

Why use TreeHelp Birch Manganese Spikes?

They provide manganese in a way your river birch can easily absorb, helping bring it back to health. You can use them on established and newly planted birch trees.

  • Long-lasting: The spikes are slow-release and last for up to 12 months.
  • High quality: They meet the highest standards for both raw materials and manufacturing, and they are developed specifically for birch trees.
  • Easy to use: Hammer the spikes into the ground around the tree and water. Or use the TreeHelp Soil Drill to make holes and insert the spikes, which increases soil aeration and is easier to apply.

How many spikes do I need?

Use 2 to 10 spikes depending on tree size:

Tree diameter (circumference) Recommended # of spikes
6 inches (18 inches) 2
8 inches (24 inches) 4
12 inches (36 inches) 6
16 inches (48 inches) 8
18 inches (54 inches) 10

The number of spikes will vary with the severity of the deficiency.
