Crimson Queen loves full sun. Having said that, in your Zone it would
appreciate lightly dappled sunshine if at all possible. If it must go in
full, blazing all day sun, please consider mulching a generous ring around
the tree to the circumference of the canopy, and then water it well
throughout the summer. You may experience some bronzing of the red foliage
in full sun.

i bought a nice 'Crimson Queen' japanese maple tree. i have read nearly
every website that i could find on google about this tree. what i need to
know is will this tree do good in full to direct sun? every site i read i
get different answers. some say yes they are hardy and can take full
direct
sun. some say they should have some sun and shade. the reason i must
know
is i want to put one in my front yard on each side of my drive way. that
area gets full sun. i dont want to plant this tree only to see it die.
can SOMEONE who has this tree in thier yard please advise me. can this
tree
take full sun??
thanks
