Signs of Cold Stress in Siberian dogwood

Symptoms

Siberian dogwood tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

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

Signs of Heat Stress in Siberian dogwood

Symptoms

During summer, Siberian dogwood should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures exceed 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, tips could dry and wither, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
