Symptoms
In summer, Mahaleb cherry should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
