Satsuki with yellow leaves

[Dav4]

Ok. I just noticed many of the leaves on 1 large satsuki I have are yellowing. I'm concerned for several reasons. First, I've owned this tree for 4 years and I don't recall this degree of yellowing. Second, some of the affected leaves include those that grew following a mid summer cut back, meaning they aren't particularly old. Finally, I've got a few other satsukis that are not turning yellow. They've all had the same fert, water, sun exposure, etc. This tree was re-potted last spring with minimal root pruning. I treated it with iron today, though I don't think it's chlorosis. October and November have been very dry around here, and though I've still watered my trees, it hasn't been every day. Anyone think it might be a bit of drought stress? Let me know what you think. Thanks, Dave

You didn't have any cold snaps did you? Don't know satsuki at all, so can't be of much help.
