Signs of Cold Stress in Swiss stone pine
Symptoms
Swiss stone pine exhibits exceptional cold hardiness, but winter temperatures should ideally remain above 20℉. Should the temperature fall below this point, while no immediate changes might be apparent in winter, branches could become fragile and desiccated by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
During spring, remove any lifeless branches that have not developed new foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in Swiss stone pine
Symptoms
Swiss stone pine does not fare well in elevated temperatures. When the temperature surpasses 72℉, it can lead to considerable leaf shedding, and in extreme instances, the entire plant may wilt and perish.
Solutions
Remove the scorched and dried sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or utilize a shade fabric to provide cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
