Signs of Cold Stress in American hophornbeam

Symptoms

American hophornbeam tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while no immediate winter changes may 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.

Symptoms

During summer, American hophornbeam should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, tips might dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
