So, the next question is if tree recover?

He said it needs sunshine.

My larch is in the sun from about 11 am till early evening... direct unimpeded sun... it did have a minor mite problem, which got correct after the lady bugs showed up, but it is growing well.

But how much sun though?

That's just a translation of the quote. It doesn't say anything about how much.

Mine are in the sun all day every day. They love it.
