Signs of Cold Stress in American basswood
Symptoms
American basswood tolerates cold well and flourishes best when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 50℉. If the temperature drops below 40℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.
Signs of Heat Stress in American basswood
Symptoms
During summer, American basswood should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 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 desiccated 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.
