Trees & Shrubs for Shade
Native trees and shrubs that take shade or tolerate it, grown from seed.
We grow ninety-nine trees and shrubs that take shade or tolerate it. Fifty-nine are shrubs, among them spicebush, witch hazel and mountain laurel. The trees run from flowering dogwood and American hornbeam to black maple. What to plant under a big tree covers the native shrubs for shade and how to plant them without hurting the tree.
