Okay. I need to break down and ask. I've been telling myself I can do it all by myself and don't need help. I read the books and watch the shows but... What trees can I get for my north facing yard whose only shade comes from a cherry tree (30 ft.) next to my east fence and an apple tree (25 ft.) next to my west fence? I am in zone 5. (Salt Lake City, Utah) I have a list of trees I would like to have.
Japanese black pine, sourwood, cypress, star magnolia, arborvitae, white pine and yew. I HAVE a dwarf weeping cherry, hosta, ferns, helleborus, astilbe, irish moss, giant reed, wisteria, iris, rose of sharon, lilac, money plant, weeping peach, viburnun and buckthorn. All well-behaved and doing well. All the shade plants are in the shade along the back of the house.
