Moving an acer tree

The leaves of an acer plant in the rain.

Q: Dear Ken, planted an acer tree around 8 months ago and I now realise it is in full sun and is getting quite burnt. Can I move it now to a less sunny position and a bit better protection?  Thank you for advice.

A: I would not move the acer tree until late September or when the leaves have dropped. See you prepare the area well with added compost prior to re-planting the acer tree.
