the supplier in OR indicated they can grow in full sun in zone 8, however I planted two and the hot sun burned them up. I am trying two more but the leaves are turning brown too. I keep them watered every other day and when it’s >100 then every day but I don’t think they can tolerate all day sun.
Anybody have success growing them in the hot TX heat?
Hello allen968, maybe you need to protect them for this first year, I’m thinking something like a shade net? They use them in hot places, even just a 15-30% shade factor will block out the worst of the sun.
