I've just purchased it and was wondering as to how much water to give it and weather will I harm it if I put it full sun or full shade my east side of my house I can't put it because its all concrete,any suggestions?

Full sun, and water once a week this time of year.

Mariolo - it will take some shade, too, though.....and plenty of water during the summer and much less in the winter time...I'll have to post a picture of my 8 year old tree here soon....bought it at Home Depot when I moved to Palm Springs....

...and don't forget to cover it up during frost threats! For the first couple
years at least, and really as long as you can wrap something around it (until it gets too big). It is very vulnerable when skinny and young, getting more tolerant of cold with size....
