Signs of Cold Stress in Incense cedar
Symptoms
Incense cedar tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 32℉. If temperatures drop below 20℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.
