Signs of Cold Temperatures in Gray dogwood
Symptoms
Gray dogwood tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 45℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, 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 High Temperatures in Gray dogwood
Symptoms
In summer, Gray dogwood should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten, tips could dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
