Signs of Cold Stress in Loblolly pine
Symptoms
Loblolly pine exhibits moderate resilience to cold and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 20℉, foliage may begin to sag. Mild instances allow for recovery, but severe cases lead to wilting and eventual leaf drop.
Solutions
Remove frost-damaged sections. Before subsequent cold exposure, cover the plant with materials like non-woven fabric or burlap, and erect a windbreak to shield it from chilly gusts.
Signs of Heat Stress in Loblolly pine
Symptoms
In summer, Loblolly pine should be kept below 80℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, leaf coloration lightens, leaf tips may dry and shrivel, leaves might curl, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or deploy a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
