Signs of Cold Stress in Chaparral Whitethorn

Symptoms

Chaparral Whitethorn tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 50℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 45℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while no immediate winter damage may be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.

Solutions

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

Signs of Heat Stress in Chaparral Whitethorn

Symptoms

In summer, Chaparral Whitethorn should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 80℉, 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 cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
