The native growth environment related to temperature requirements for sugarberry is temperate climates with an average temperature of 10 to 35 ℃ (50 to 95 ℉). It prefers a warmer temperature range and may experience leaf drop in cooler temperatures. In the fall, it is suggested to gradually reduce temperature to promote dormancy.
Sugarberry has strong cold resistance, so special frost protection measures are usually not necessary during winter. However, if the winter temperatures are expected to drop below {Limit_growth_temperature}, it is still important to provide cold protection. This can be achieved by wrapping the trunk and branches with materials such as non-woven fabric or cloth. Before the first freeze in autumn, it is recommended to water the plant abundantly, ensuring the soil remains moist and enters a frozen state. This helps prevent drought and water scarcity for the plant during winter and early spring.
