Move to my new property in the winter and I didn't want to move here because I didn't like the options with the sun. The wife tells me it doesn't always revolve around the trees dear Well happy wife, happy life is how I was seeing it. So spring hits and the only good option for light is on the side yard during the hottest time of the day. So built a 10x10 box wooden frame as my shade cloth structure. This being my first time using one other bonsai guys told me to go with 30% shade cloth and I'll be fine. Did that for 2 days and I knew bad was going to come, I have had my run in with sunburnt trees. So used the extra I had and doubled layered it. The internet saying 30% + 30% = 51% shade cloth. Where they got that number I have no clue, but 51% seems like a lot and I'm still getting sunburnt leaves on some areas! That sound normal? I did research before buying and heard people say 50% and up was making their tress leggy. Not mine they are still going threw the struggles of the sun. Any info or history on using it be great.
