Party Musa Itinerans, How much sun is too much?

I just got my Musa Itinerans to germinate after TWO WEEKS!!!! Yay for me! Two trials, one set soaked for three days, the second for 10, ALL germinated since I planted the first set less than two weeks ago and the second a week ago. The second set actually started germinating while soaking! I harvested one seedling already into a small pot individually locked into a ziplock in the shade for now so that it can start pushing out that first leaf. I know it's a little early to be thinking of planting it in the ground, but I just realized they arn't very sun tollerant. Does anyone with experiance or know how much sun it too much sun? I have a great shade spot under a 50-60 foot pine tree that my neighbores have, but it only provides shade for half of the day. Would that be enough? Can't wait til it gets big enough to try!!!! I have several germinating, so when they get big enough I might sell or trade some if anyone would be interested! My cam is out of commision for a day (have to go buy new batteries), I'll take a picture later!
