just my 2 bob gents. i havent had enough experience yet only got my first one 5 months ago in winter. so far so good but the real hot weather is yet to hit.
i believe the japanese variety is the hardier of the 2. i will be treating mine like a maple over summer moring sun and late afternoon only. keep right away from hot north winds. i also am using fast drain soil and watering every day. we are only now starting to hit the 30's c. as it gets higher i will water day and night, in order to keep its roots cool . i stress keep its roots cool.i will keep posted through summer let you all know how im going with it. i live in zone 9.
