Thanks, Gina

Gina,

If unable to shade, morning sun is definately your best alternative for now. The apperance of new growth certainly sounds encouraging.

As for your patience, the good news is that once your ficus is up and running so to speak, it will reward you with a fairly rapid growth rate.

Cheers!
