Signs of Cold Stress in Longleaf pine
Symptoms
Longleaf pine tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 30℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become fragile and parched by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any lifeless branches that haven't produced fresh foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Longleaf pine
Symptoms
In summer, Longleaf pine should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove the sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
