Signs of Cold Temperatures in Summersweet

Symptoms

Summersweet tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 59℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 41℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while winter might show no immediate effects, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.

Solutions

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