 kind of trees would actually be able to tolerate that condition better. I think the paperbark makeable, it's beautiful. I love it. Mine is great. I got some shots. In fact, if you send me an email, I'll send you some shots I took of mine yesterday with the sun coming through the exfoliating bark on a bunch of the limbs. It's a great tree, but it is going to like just a little bit more protection than being in the full sun eight to five.
