Symptoms
Valley oak tolerates cold well and flourishes best when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 25℉. If temperatures drop below 10℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry in spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new leaves.

During summer, Valley oak should be maintained below 80℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, tips may dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
