Mexican pinyon tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 50℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 32℉. If temperatures drop below 20℉, while no immediate winter damage might be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.
