Joy Re: Wind burn?

Nick, I think the main thing here is dehydration from the wind = wind burn. What I have observed from the planting of TC plantlets is that once they are in the open and grounded, water plays a big part. If they can be watered frequently during the initial period of 1 month, they will regulate very well.

As long as you have 2-4 wks of preconditioning, they should be ok and the leaf burn will be there till they are rooted over the next 2 months or so.
