Signs of Cold Temperatures in Western serviceberry

Symptoms

Western serviceberry tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 30℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

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

In summer, Western serviceberry should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures go above 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in color, their tips could dry and wither, and the plant becomes more prone to sunburn.
