Customer Reviews for Fertilome Chelated Iron EDDHA 6% Water Soluble

My Autumn Blaze Maple has been struggling with iron chlorosis for at least five years, getting progressively worse each year. We were paying a tree service for trunk injections and root applications to no avail. I had separately tried various iron treatments. We live in a semi-arid climate with high pH (7.8) soil and excessive lime. I was skeptical that anything would turn the tide, but after starting treatments with this product, the tree noticeably improved. New leaves were green on the previously yellowing parts of the tree and the yellowing stopped spreading. I wish I would have tried an EDDHA product sooner.

My hydrangea was showing all the signs of iron deficiency, yellowing leaves with green veins. My sister recommended your product. The new leaves that are emerging are solid green now. I applied your product, watered heavily and within a week I noticed the difference. Amazing!

The EDDHA chelated iron worked on my young pear and autumn blaze maple trees. In around 3 weeks in May, the chlorotic look of the leaves (lighter green than the veins) was gone. My soil pH was professionally tested at 8.1, requiring EDDHA as I understand. I used around half the bag on two 2" trees per instructions and immediately watered it in.

I used this product on "evergreen" citrus and Chinese Fringe Flower Loropetalum chinense, var. rubrum "Razzleberry" plants suffering from severe iron chlorosis. The cause I deduced was from using very hard water (high levels of soluble calcium and bicarbonate) for years which ultimately raised the soil pH above 7. I followed the directions and used drenches of product in the cold/cooler December. However, I have yet to see any positive response as likely the plants are still metabolically in the dormant like stage (Zone 9 climate). Nevertheless, Fe-EDDHA is the chelate to apply to this scenario based on my extensive informational research. The Verdict is still out.

With hard water irrigation the soil is alkaline. It takes time to lower the pH. This EDDHA iron saved the gardenias from chlorosis. I tried the EDTA chelated iron, all they had at a local store, but it did not work due to the alkalinity. This version is more expensive and worth it when you need plants to respond quickly. A small amount is needed for each bush. It comes with a measuring spoon.

Fertilome Chelated Iron is the best iron product i have used when considering effectiveness, easy solubility, and ease of application. Cheilosis of Water Birch trees was greatly improved despite Ph still being 7.1 or above. In Lawn areas it did a great job of enriching the deep green of my turf. My normal application method is to use an Ortho Hose End Sprayer with well-whetted iron powder in an oversaturated solution. i follow this with a rinsing spray to drop it off plants and turf to the soil surface, and i plan applications prior to a rain day when possible. If not, I water it in well.

My 4 year old English Oak tree hasn't grown much in the last year and was very yellow. 3 weeks after treating it is green and hopefully growing!

Great for gardenias in South Florida soils. From yellow to green in a few months.
