Mexican cypress exhibits exceptional cold hardiness, yet winter temperatures should remain above 40℉. Should the temperature fall below this point, while no immediate changes might be apparent in winter, branches could become fragile and parched by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Signs of Heat Stress in Mexican cypress
Symptoms
Mexican cypress does not tolerate elevated temperatures well. When temperatures surpass 75℉, it might shed a considerable number of leaves, and in extreme instances, the entire plant could wilt and perish.
Solutions
Cut off any parts that are scorched and dried out. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to ensure the soil stays damp.
