Deciduous Trees To Grow Under Shade
Trees
Other trees that will add interest near or around your taller
evergreen trees are Dogwoods, which are deciduous. Many
dogwoods have very interesting colored leaves, especially the
variegated varieties. Dogwoods are also sought after for their
winter color as their stems can be vivid green, red or yellow
and so provide good visual interest all year round. Another
popular flowering tree and 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 shade.
Cherry Laurel
Tree – Shade Tree
One is the
Cherry Laurel Tree, Laurocerasus Caroliniana Ait. It is
itself an evergreen shade tree that 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 an evergreen shade tree, 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 – Shade Tree
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.
