Which is the lesser of two evils for my acacia?

Question from Shoot User

I can either have sheltered and shady or sunny and exposed? To note: in the sheltered/shade place, when it's taller, it would grow out of the shade and into the sun.

    Hi, Hayley,
    I would say give it what it really wants when it is young to give it a healthy start. Having said that, however, the exposed aspect can be dependent upon where you live and how exposed the site truly is. Since Acacia dealbata 'Gaulois Astier'
    has an H2/H3 rating, I would seriously consider an alternative if your area gets harsh winters/hard frost/freezing temps/strong winds. Or, it you really want this plant, consider giving it some serious winter protection.
