Signs of Cold Stress in Butternut
Symptoms
Butternut exhibits exceptional cold hardiness, but winter temperatures should remain above 30℉. 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.
Solutions
During spring, remove any lifeless branches that have not produced fresh foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Butternut
Symptoms
Butternut does not fare well in high heat. When temperatures surpass 75℉, it might shed a considerable number of leaves, and in extreme instances, the entire plant could wilt and perish.
Solutions
Remove any parts that are scorched by the sun and dried out. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or utilize a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
