I agree tree tree does needs the sun to recover its a juniper and as leatherback says they need the sun for energy especially as there is a chance of weak roots. I would make sure it gets a good few hours of full sun every day.

correct me if wrong, before I do not know which area has a tree, maybe in europe. But in my tropical area, I've consulted and inquired with the owner of the bonsai garden. They say after the root pruning, the tree should be kept in the shade for a week for recovery, then the tree can be placed in direct sunlight. Although in the shade, there must still be a shadow of the sun.

Hm.. Repotting was 12.March.2017.. That is over a week ago.

I place them back in their regular spot in the sun, and just spray them with water every day, maybe two times a day if it really is hot.

It is a little like saying: You just had an operation. So now you are not going to get food for a week. What happens to your recovery compared to you getting -healthy- food as normal?

oh...ok, Then it should be kept in the sun.
ok i know, but after the operation also have to keep the food, not all food can be fed. Only certain foods.
because my area is tropical, my friend who works in the garden said, after the root pruning should be put in the shade for a week. But still feeding and watering should be done every day.

OK, your friend is the expert.

Leatherback, lately you've been saying trees need sun after re-potting. Which makes sense. But really, the word out there is to put them in shade for a few weeks, and some people even say to not fertilize at all.

What's your thought on this? what have you been doing with your trees, and what's your logic behind it? I am just curious about what you have to say since your obviously pretty experienced and get great results. If you don't mind answering, thanks.

He did mention that he puts some conifers in the after repot and he explained that the leaves on the conifers take energy from the sun helping the roots recover , that makes sense to me .

I was referring to conifers. Deciduous broadleaves get their strength from the roots. Which is why they can regrow when no green is there.
Evergreen coniferous trees get the bulk of their strength from their foliage. So to recover, they need lots of light, and drying out is less of an issue (As you know: A juniper that looks like it is dying, has had problems for a long time, but the foliage stays green). As such, I do keep evergreens in the shade, and conifers in the light after repot. yew is the exception, as I keep those in relative shade.
Fertilier does not hurt. But if a tree has no active roots, it will not take up a lot. Yes, when it does have active roots, I want nutrients for recovery to be available. Just make sure you flush the soil well when you fertilize so no salts build up.
