Signs of Cold Temperatures in Cork oak
Symptoms
Cork oak tolerates cold well and flourishes best when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
During spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.
Signs of High Temperatures in Cork oak
Symptoms
In summer, Cork oak should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, their tips might dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried out. 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.
