Moved to a new location where my trees receive a little over 2 hours of direct sunlight a day. This will be a problem, right?

What's your zone?

Might not be a "problem" so much as something to overcome. Next year you'll have a better feel for exactly how much sun you get based on the season. You're getting around two hours now but that could be different in spring and early summer -- hopefully different in a positive way. You're in a warmer zone, so that's going to help. Also, I would imagine there are ways to optimize for as much indirect light as possible. Of course, it also depends on the tree's light requirements... Some may thrive while others may struggle. Other folks in this forum could give you advice on which ones to worry about and how to optimize. I think you have reason to be optimistic.

Ok, thank you Luke. What you said definitely helped ease my nerves, and I will be optimistic.

Believe it or not, I've decided to set up a few mirrors outside next spring to intensify the light I do get, and extend the number of hours my trees get sunlight.

It works with pot plants indoors, and I still have a few from when I was growing weed. Actually it's amazing how much more light you can produce with a simple, small mirror.

For what it's worth.

That is a good idea, thank you!

I guess, lol, more or less a random thought.
I have the space to do it, the right conditions, and the need. My trees don't get enough light.
Lets call it an experiment in providing light where there is none. lol

For pines and junipers that want as much sun as possible, yes this could be a problem

It is a significant problem particularly for conifers. I’m facing similar with my trees. The wood lot in back of my house has extended over the last 25 years so much so I get a lot of afternoon shade. Trees are showing it especially broad leafed trees evergreens
