Signs of Cold Temperatures in Pacific dogwood

Symptoms

Pacific dogwood tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while no immediate changes might be visible in winter, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.

Solutions

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

Signs of High Temperatures in Pacific dogwood

Symptoms

During summer, Pacific dogwood should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, their tips could dry and wither, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and dried 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.
