the conflict is due to what "sun" means in different parts of the country. in
atlanta it is SUN!!! and I would go with some shade at high noon. up here in
wisconsin I dont think direct sun would burn them.
\
this all has to do with how fast can the tree suck up water to replace what is being
lost to hot sun. actually the loss at the leaves is what creates the "suction" ...
those leaves are very, very thin and it may be the loss is so high that the tree
cannot supply it fast enough. then the leaves with dry out and crisp.

if it isnt too big, pot it up and try it. if it is fine then plant it there. if
not, move it to light shade. set up an automatic watering system for it. Ingrid

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
