Signs of Cold Stress in Chinese hackberry
Symptoms
Chinese hackberry tolerates cool conditions moderately well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 41℉, foliage may begin to sag. Mild cases can recover, but severe instances lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Before subsequent cold spells, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or cloth, and erect a windbreak to shield it from harsh winds.
Signs of Heat Stress in Chinese hackberry
Symptoms
In summer, Chinese hackberry should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, leaves lighten in color, tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
