Signs of Cold Stress in Red maple
Symptoms
Red maple tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 55℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 32℉. If temperatures drop below -10℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, branches can become fragile and parched by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any lifeless branches that haven't produced fresh foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Red maple
Symptoms
In summer, Red maple should be maintained below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric to provide cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
