Signs of Cold Stress in American beech
Symptoms
American beech tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 45℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in American beech
Symptoms
In summer, American beech should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
