[IBC] Junipers and pines in sun
 

Hi everyone its been awhile since ive posted "busy
with early spring chores". Just a quick easily
answered question. I probably should already know
this but here goes. I am looking at moving to a new
building here in the city. Some of the ones i have
looked at only have north light. Would my pines and
junipers survive in that low light atmosphere with
only maybe 1 or 2 hours of direct sunlight a day? If
they would and just not thrive what would be the
consequences of the low light.

Thanks
Ben

Ben:

During the growing season, your Junipers and Pines will require substantially more direct light--approximately 6-8 hours of direct sunlight to fuel healthy growth.

If the trees receive only 1-2 hours of light, I would expect to see leggy, weak growth.

Cordially,

The junipers would probably do OK. The pines would suffer.
Yellowed needles, longer-than-normal needles, and general ennui.

I suspect they might survive, but not thrive. The consequences would probably be
anemic growth.
