Is it necessary to provide some shade in this case?
Just planted 1 of my Goldfinger last night, watered well, mulched. Today the high temp was in the upper 90s. Came home after work to find a few of the leaves were wilted and burned (browned). Will it recover or should I place an umbrella temporarily until the plant gets more established? I'm thinking it may be a combination of planting shock AND high heat, but want to run it by you experts. The other Goldfinger is still in pot, and it was also out in the open sun. Its leaves got a little burned too, but not as bad as the planted one. For comparison, the Ice Cream that has been in the ground for over 2 years is oblivious to the heat, but maybe it's a more hardy plant compared to Goldfinger.
