| Hey all,
I have a dilemma. I have a three foot dwarf cavendish that is growing well in Phoenix shade on my balcony. Three other TC starts are growing fine and getting bigger everyday in shade.

| it's not the az sun that is potentially bad - it's the heat and low humidity, so water very often if in sun |

| If they're doing fine now, why mess with success? Plants don't always behave as they are supposed to. One very smart nurseryman I know purposely experiments with sun plants in shade and vice versa and often finds that they do better in the "wrong" conditions! Since you have 3 of them, why not try one and see what happens if you really need to try it? |

| I am in Chandler and grow one spot in sun until about 1pm and the other spot gets sun till at least 4pm. They can look a little burnt at times but i have nanners on one that gets the sun till 4. If you are going to do it now it will have to be a little at a time |
