Signs of Cold Stress in Sour cherry
Symptoms
Sour cherry tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while no immediate winter damage may be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Sour cherry
Symptoms
In summer, Sour cherry should be maintained below 70℉. When temperatures rise above 80℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, their tips could dry and wither, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. 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.
