Symptoms

Common chokecherry tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new leaves.
