Signs of Cold Stress in Mugo pine
Symptoms
Mugo pine tolerates cold well and flourishes when temperatures exceed 50℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 40℉. If the temperature drops below 30℉, while no immediate winter changes might be seen, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.

Symptoms
In summer, Mugo pine should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
