Signs of Cold Stress in Elliott's blueberry
Symptoms
Elliott's blueberry tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures are above 60℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 30℉, while no immediate changes might be apparent in winter, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.

Symptoms
In summer, Elliott's blueberry should be kept 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 parts that are sunburned and dried. 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.
