Coral Bark Maple shade

12 years ago

I just planted a 6' Coral Bark Maple yesterday in a location where I just always assumed it would 4-5 hours a day. But stupidly I didn't take into account the size of the tree currently. Because the sun comes down between my house and the neighbor's trees, at it's current 6' size it's a little low for the slant of the sun that it will get when it gets bigger.

Anyway, I became worried so I spent all day watching the sun to see how much falls on the tree. It looks like it's 3 hours with the tree completely in the sun and about 15-30 minutes with parts of the tree in the sun. My question is, is that enough sun for it?

Edit: I forgot to add that the time it's in the sun is about 10:45 until 2:00.
