I have not read that post but you were probably told to keep it out of direct sun because it was not healthy. Anyhow, the sun gets pretty strong here in the southern tip of Texas, and I keep quite a few trees in direct sun all day. The varieties are ficus,( nerifolia, retusa, and benjamina are good ones ), schefflera, buttonwood, and black olive, just to name a few. A good rule is to look around your neighborhood and see what grows there naturally. You could also try to find a local bonsai club and see what they grow. Larry
