Deciduous Trees
To Grow Under Evergreen Shade
Dogwoods are great alternative trees that will add interest growing near or around your taller
evergreen shade trees. Dogwoods, which are deciduous have very interesting colored leaves, especially the
variegated varieties. Dogwoods are also sought after for their winter color as their stems become vivid green,
red or yellow and so provide great visual interest all year round. Another popular flowering tree which
is tolerant to partial shade, although deciduous, is the Redbud, also known as the Judas tree. One
particularly good specimen is Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy', which flowers early in the year with beautiful dark
pink blooms. There are other very good abundantly flowering trees that can benefit from some evergreen shade.
Cherry Laurel Tree – Shade
Tree
One is the Cherry Laurel Tree, Laurocerasus Caroliniana Ait. It is itself is
good for evergreen shade and is covered with exceptional fragrant blooming white flower clusters in March. Cherry
Laurel tree is a very fast growing tree, sometimes exceeding growth of 6-feet / 1.83m per year.
Eucalyptus Cinerea – Shade
Tree
Eucalyptus tree, Eucalyptus Cinerea, is great for evergreen shade, but the
'Silver Dollar' eucalyptus tree usually is restricted to planting in warmer temperate zones. Eucalyptus trees are
well known for their extraordinary menthol scent emanating from all parts of the tree, which makes it particularly
advantageous where smog and other air pollutants are challenging.
Magnolia Grandiflora – Ideal Evergreen
Shade
The southern magnolia tree, Magnolia Grandiflora, is an exceptional shade tree
known for their enormously wide fragrant white flowers throughout the summer and the lustrous green waxy magnolia
leaves that give dense shade. Because of the dense shade and the mats of succulent roots that rise to the ground
surface, as found in cypress tree roots, hardly any shrubs or perennials can be productively planted and grown
beneath the Magnolia Grandiflora trees.
Do not be confused with the Loblolly Bay tree, Gordonia Lasianthus, which is often referred to as the Loblolly Bay
magnolia tree, and the flower scent, white color, and form look like a tiny flower blossom of the magnolia.

white flower clusters just following on from the emergence of the fern-like, light green leaves. The Black Locust
trees leaf color gradually changes to bright yellow in the fall. Its wood has been used as waterproofed split rail
fencing for centuries.
Empress Shade Tree - Paulownia
Tomentosa

Tree, and Princess Tree, is a flowering tree that produces colossal blue-purple triangular flower clusters. The
Empress Tree is acknowledged as an exceptionally fast growing shade tree. The wood is valued as very tough and
lightweight and much sought-after in the Far East for furniture manufacture and woodcarving.
Florida Maple Acer Barbatum – Shade Tree
Maple
trees and Oak trees provide numerous species for shade and leaf transforming color in the fall. The maple leaf
color changes from yellow to orange, and red. The Oak tree leaf color can differ from red, to orange, to
yellow-gold, to brown. The Florida Maple, Acer Barbatum, shade tree changes to a brilliant yellow color in the fall
and then goes brown and remains on the tree the majority of the winter. Although not a true evergreen, the fact it
can retain its leaves means it can provide cover just like evergreen shade.
Drake

American Elm Tree Ulmus Americana
Other significant shade trees are the American Elm Tree,
Ulmus Americana, and the Drake Elm, Ulmus Parvifolia 'Drake,' both coloring turns yellow-gold in the fall. The
Winged Elm Tree has very weird scaly winged growths on its stems and branches that are in high demand by florists

for evergreen shade.
