Signs of Cold Temperatures in American chestnut
Symptoms
American chestnut tolerates cold well and flourishes best when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 55℉. If the temperature drops below 45℉, while no immediate changes might be apparent in winter, branches could become fragile and parched by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.
Signs of High Temperatures in American chestnut
Symptoms
During summer, American chestnut should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures go above 80℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Cut off the sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric to provide cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
