Signs of Cold Stress in Pussy willow

Symptoms

Pussy willow tolerates cold well and grows optimally when temperatures are above 55℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 45℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while no immediate changes might be visible in winter, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.

Signs of Heat Stress in Pussy willow

Symptoms

In summer, Pussy willow should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures rise above 85℉, the plant's leaves may lighten in hue, their tips might dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

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