Signs of Heat Stress in Common cotoneaster
Symptoms
Common cotoneaster does not tolerate elevated temperatures well. When temperatures surpass 75℉, it may experience considerable leaf shedding, and in extreme instances, the entire plant could wilt and perish.
Solutions
Cut off any parts that are scorched by the sun and dried out. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the intense midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth to provide cover. Hydrate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
