Signs of Cold Temperatures in Northern red oak

Symptoms

Northern red oak tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, branches can become fragile and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

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

Signs of Warm Temperatures in Northern red oak

Symptoms

During summer, Northern red oak 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.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
