Signs of Cold Stress in Deodar cedar
Symptoms
Deodar cedar tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry in spring, with no new growth emerging.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.

Symptoms
During summer, Deodar cedar should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, tips might dry and shrivel, and it 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. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
