It may not be just the temperature, sun and low humidity that is causing your leaf burn. High salt content in the water can also contribute. In my area (Southern California) I sometimes have used bottled or reverse-osmosis filtered water, especially on trident shohins, if I'm getting too much leaf burn. Natural shade under trees or amongst bushes may also help reduce leaf burn if it results in higher humidity.
