I'm in Fl. ....one box store tols me it's caused by the heat and to cut off the affected limbs. I did and there is some regrowth coming in. But, the stem wasn't turning brown.

Jack72; Thank you for the info. I'm going out now to make sure all of the damage stems are removed. Hopefully after I do that the main stem will clear up. Thanks again.
