Mt Hemlock - how long to keep in the shade?

[somegeek]

I collected these three trees a few weeks back. They've been in the shade since. I'm curious as to how soon I can start putting these into morning sun? They'd be exposed from ~8am til noon or so.

Appreciate any input.

I wouldn't think morning sun, particularly if our weather stays so mild, would be any problem at this point.

I agree with darrell, morning sun and also evening sun. Nice trees

What sun?

Here the rain is back. They should be fine 8-noon anyway.

They should be able to handle that. The first one looks like a mountain Hemi but the others look like western?

Thanks for the replies all - I'll get them into some sun.

There are some larger images here. Bit of a discussion regarding what kind of hemlocks they are.
