Signs of Cold Temperatures in Black locust

Symptoms

Black locust tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 59℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, even if no immediate changes are visible in winter, branches might become brittle and dry in spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

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

Symptoms

In summer, Black locust should be maintained below 68℉. When temperatures go above 86℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Cut off any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering shade from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
