Question From: Republic, Missouri, United States
Q: My zelkiva tree is only half leafed out not bright green but light green leaves with brown tips and not growing or looking healthy like my other one and big pieces of bark are peeling off inside there's whitish stuff that looks like mold and brown powdery stuff
A: Sorry to say it is on its way out. Plants need leaves to make food, and a partially leafed out tree with chlorotic leaves cannot make enough to sustain the tree. You could get an on-site inspection from a certified arborist for a professional diagnosis. Might be a good idea, should your ill tree pass on a disease to the others. To find one in your area go to www.tcia.org and enter your zip code. Best Nancy
