The soil around some trees is affected by the leave of the said trees.....some of the plants mentioned here will grow okay in partial. ( cast shade). but not permanently under trees.........the climate is a big factor also....... it’s not enough to say “ these plants will grow under trees “..... there’s a lot more to it. ❤❤❤
Black walnut is the worst offender, so Google JUGLONE TOLERANT PLANTS. Other plants are better off at least 10' beyond the dripline. Buds and green hulls have a high level of juglone. The roots from a dead walnut tree release JUGLONE for 20 years.
As a gardener from the U.K. (south east), this was very interesting. Some of these I grow but several I had never heard of and are not available or not hardy here.
Do u grow the alpine currant, Mark? I’m in UK, too, and any berry that grows wild without the need for support like a trellis, will be easy to grow. I like to grow something that (in the absence of a hot summer drought) needs only annual in place composting, annual mulching + annual pruning & then, left alone the rest of the year! 😅
@@wemuk5170 I used to have a close relative but lost it last year. My main woodland plants are ferns, I grow quite a few different types although it’s becoming more challenging.
@@markborder906 Thanks for the clarification. Mark, if you have a woodland shade garden, you can grow hardy woodland familiars like wild garlic, lovage, sweet cecily & maybe blackberry? I’m new to gardening & my garden (also south east England in Greater London) has less than 2 hrs of direct sunlight & only on one side of it. Will be trying to grow a blackberry hedge this spring. Good luck to you for the future.
"Baltic parsley" we're off to an iffy start. Botanical name please? I'll keep watching but what's the issue? tolerating shade or will able to successfully compete with tree roots generally and especially in irrigated areas. Let's strive to really educate people.
Calm down. I don't want to be educated, u wa b t a list of plants and good photos. I unlike some, dont have all day to listen to jibber jabber, get to the point. I can do my own research.
John Walsh, you can do your own video with all that research and botanical names. Jeesh! Nobody is under any obligation to give you every bit of information you want on any topic. That's the beauty of using multiple resources and doing your own research.
I had a black walnut tree in my front yard that was over 100 years old, it can be seen in photos from the 1800s. I kept the nuts from rotting in the yard and beds, I grew everything I wanted. If the plant is not doing well, put it in a pot with fresh soil and put the pot in the ground, I do this with all the plants that need to be pulled in the fall, or plants that need the spread controlled.
