Ok, so everything is breaking dormancy and leafing out. In some websites I have read that trees should be moved into a shady area first then gradually into more sunshine. My problem is my yard is full of deciduous trees and have no leaves yet. This makes it a little difficult to find any shady areas to use as a transition zone. I wonder what to do with all these little guys with their new leaves and needles popping out? Also, if the leaves open and develop in what amounts to full sun will they not develop sufficient pigments to protect themselves or will they just burn up and wilt? I do keep newly repotted trees out of wind and sun by moving them onto the screened porch for a week or so but what about the rest? Do I need to hang a sheet of shade cloth between some tree trunks to provide a transition zone or build a shade hiuse for them?
