Symptoms

Poison sumac tolerates cold well and grows best when temperatures are above 70℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 60℉. If temperatures drop below 50℉, even if no immediate changes are seen 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.
