Signs of Cold Temperatures in Eastern cottonwood
Symptoms
Eastern cottonwood tolerates cold well and flourishes when temperatures exceed 70℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, while no immediate winter damage might be visible, branches can become brittle and dry in spring, preventing new growth.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new leaves.
Signs of High Temperatures in Eastern cottonwood
Symptoms
During summer, Eastern cottonwood should be maintained below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, their tips could dry and wither, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and dried sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
