Default Basjoo's in the heat.

My Basjoos are doing horible this year. the temps have been near 100 for 3-4 weeks. They are much smaller than normal. They seem to stand still and put on a leaf every 10 days or so. They are growing in a pure organic soil mulched up gettin 6-7 hrs a day in the same spot they've been in for 4 yrs. My buddies are doing great but recieve a lot more shade and no afternoon sun. Thinking about moving them next year to a shadier area. Basjoos seem to prefer less light and grow well in a semi shade area where obviously the temps are lower. Any thoughts on growing them in the shade or tips please charm in. Thanx in advance.-Nate
