Just a quick question:
I have one Ficus and two Olive bonsai trees all outside now, as in summer time we have warm conditions here.
But the sun is very hot and strong in the middle of the day and I was wondering if this can hurt the trees? Leaves are becoming dry and some even fell off, but is this because of underwatering or could it be because of the sun? Should I make some shadow for them?

both species can handle the condition. However, as they may have just come from inside (?) they may suffer some sunburn due to the transition (Just like you would). A trannsition with a few hours sun for a few weeks might help.

Yes, the trees were exposed to sun only for about 2 weeks now. Thank you.
