Signs of Cold Temperatures in American sycamore

Symptoms

American sycamore tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 72℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 32℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, branches could become fragile and parched by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

In spring, remove any lifeless branches that haven't produced fresh leaves.

Signs of Warm Temperatures in American sycamore

Symptoms

In summer, American sycamore should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures go above 95℉, 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 the sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
