I got this baby basjoo along with a few others 3 weeks ago and they've all been doing well in a south window waiting for the weather to improve to go outside.
Well yesterday was the first really warm day with temps hitting 90+ degrees and full sun. I took a couple of them outside to put in the shade to acclimate outdoors and I didn't realize that one of them got hit with the full midday sun for a few hours and got quite a sunburn before I could move it into the shade.
So how big do these small TC plants have to get before they can safely be planted outside and take the full hot sun of a midwest summer?
