Default Re: Is it necessary to provide some shade in this case?

In my experience, you can slowly move the plants out and it reduces the visible shock. If you just throw it out in the field the leaves will burn and it will look terrible for a bit, however it will then quickly come back with leaves that are capable of handling the full sun.
