Signs of Cold Stress in Yellow Birch
Symptoms
Yellow Birch tolerates cold well, but winter temperatures should stay above 35℉. If temperatures fall below this, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry in spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Yellow Birch
Symptoms
Yellow Birch does not handle high temperatures well. When temperatures go above 75℉, it can shed many leaves, and in severe cases, the whole plant might wilt and die.
Solutions
Cut off any parts that are scorched and dried out. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to keep the soil damp.
