Signs of Cold Stress in Carob tree
Symptoms
Carob tree favors warm conditions and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, the leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring sufficient sunlight. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant near heating units or air conditioning vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
