Dawn Redwood to hot?

[Michigan Tree Murderer]

With all the hot weather I'm wondering if this is normal behavior or if I should be seeking shade? I've been watering it twice a day in this heat & even have it sitting in two inches of water for the last two days. It gets morning and mid afternoon sun till about 3pm. About 9hours total. I noticed the tips drying up and crusting? Is this normal behavior?


This is a picture from a few weeks ago and not it's growing location. The bricks will bake it for sure, and probably that table.

Hot dry winds will do that. Lots of water, which you're doing, and protect from wind are the solutions.

Thanks. I've been watering the foliage when I water not sure if that helps or not. Getting it out of the wind is a bit of a challenge and would also mean less sunshine.
