Maples Japanese, and some other cultivars like blood good, nurasagi, lace maples. Morning sun and the balcony is covered.
They are doing great and the american elm seedlings are growing like weeds. LOL. When should I repot the american elms into their own pots?How those willows doing? I had them growing in full sun they can take more than you think.
I think next year I’m going to sit out empty pots and let the elms seed them and give them out here. Something fun and it will give everyone that wants them all the elms they could ever need.
Down here in 9A. Direct afternoon sun will kill my maples. Willows can withstand anything. I can hardly kill it. As a matter of fact, I'm not doing any willow bonsai because we are trying so hard to kill it.
The only reason you'd possibly want partial shade for a willow is if you can't keep up with the watering requirements. They'll suck water most vigorously in full sun, so having afternoon shade can save you on a lot of watering.
