Signs of Cold Stress in Mediterranean cypress
Symptoms
Mediterranean cypress exhibits exceptional cold hardiness, but winter temperatures should remain above 32℉. Should the temperature fall below this point, while no immediate changes might be apparent in winter, branches could become fragile and desiccated by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
During spring, remove any lifeless branches that have not developed fresh foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Mediterranean cypress
Symptoms
Mediterranean cypress does not withstand elevated temperatures well. When temperatures surpass 75℉, it may shed a considerable amount of leaves, and in extreme instances, the entire plant could wilt and perish.
Solutions
Remove any parts that are scorched and dried out. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the intense midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
