Signs of Cold Temperatures in Big sagebrush

Symptoms

Big sagebrush tolerates cold well and grows optimally above 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while winter changes might be subtle, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.
