I got a cambuca plant from Adam back in early March. It is about 1.5 feet tall. I plan to wait another month or 2 and plant it mid-summer while raining season is still upon us. Is there a danger in getting it acclimated to full sun? or should i leave it in the shade?
Thanks.
here is the deal....
if your growing conditions are less than optimal, maybe consider growing the tree in the shade for a while...until it's about 4-6 ft.
seems like the smaller trees are more subject to adverse conditions (mainly high pH, and drought)....so it's always a safer bet to grow them in some shade.
but if you have no trouble keeping miracle fruits (blueberries) or other acid loving plants happy, when they are planted out in your garden...then I say by all means, give it full sun, and lots of irrigation....with a little fertilizer every now and again....it will fruit faster in fuller sun...but only if growing conditions are optimal.
