Felidae, I am not doubting your experience, but Auk is right, and my experience is the opposite of yours.
Sun burn because of droplets of water acting as lens and "burning" the leaves is a huge myth. BEFORE the leaves could be burnt the droplet would evaporate.
I water my plants from above when they need, sometimes 3 times a day in our summers, and they don't get burnt leaves because of that.
In fact, if I don't do it, they get dry.
But of course that is just my experience and I can be wrong.

You need to take them indoors, but to keep the humidity high, which is difficult, very difficult.Gabygau wrote: With all your experience in this forum auk do you know how i can make my tree survive durimg extreme cold as -50°c ? Or can i simulate an indoor environnement inside for the winter?

I know Clicio, but we’re really not on the same climate. I don’t believe neither on the loop effect, as I stated.Clicio wrote:

I’ve got burnt leafs on few years in a row, but never happened on trees just on ordinary garden plants with big leaf surface, and the grass. ( I think I’ve got temperature shocks also with cold water on the hot weather few times.) On the trees I’ve never saw nothing similar, that’s why I asked if it’s possible with junipers.

Well, for tropicals, +15C and 70% humidity.
For deciduous and evergreens, they need to go dormant in winter, so something around 0C ~ -10C will do, I guess.
