8 trees that can grow in full shade. Names, descriptions, photos - Botanichka
Strongly shaded places are found in almost any landscape - whether it is the area on the north side of the house or, for example, under a massive oak tree in the far corner of the garden. Often there are also forested areas where large oaks, birches, pines or other tall trees grow. But even in such situations, you should not let the forest dominate the garden, because smaller trees with beautiful flowers and spectacular foliage can still be planted under them.
This will just require breeds that can grow normally in the shade. Some species in heavily shaded conditions may not reach their optimal height and not show abundant flowering or fruiting, but at least they will not wither and die there. nine0003 8 trees that can grow in full shade
"Shadow" is a relative concept
First, let's look at what levels of illumination exist from the point of view of plant cultivation. The terms that are used to describe the sunlight requirements of a particular crop quickly become familiar to anyone who works with plants, as they are usually listed on the label that comes with the seedling.
They include:
Full sun . For a place to be considered fully sunny, the plant placed on it must receive six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day, with maximum illumination between 10 am and 4 pm. nine0003
Full sun to partial shade . This suggests that the plant can withstand a wider range of conditions.
And it will be able to grow both in full sun and in partial shading (see next paragraph).
Partial shade/partial sun/partial shade . These terms are used interchangeably to refer to the need for four to six hours of sun exposure daily. It is preferable that the most intense lighting was in the cooler morning hours. nine0003
Mottled shade . Dappled sunlight is similar to partial shade, such lighting is obtained when sunlight penetrates through the branches and foliage of deciduous trees.
Full shadow . This term does not mean that there is no sun at all in such places, because very few plants can tolerate a truly complete absence of sunlight. And plants that can grow in full shade are those that can survive four hours in full sunlight (mostly in the morning or late afternoon). Full shade is also called the conditions when the plant stays during the day in spots of sunlight, that is, diffused sunlight. nine0003
Important! Thus, when choosing a plant for shady conditions, it should be understood that the term "full shade" does not mean the absolute absence of light (in such conditions, only mushrooms can grow).
This only indicates the need for minimal lighting, which the plant will be content with to maintain its vital functions.
Not all trees suitable for shady areas have the same light requirements. And each tree species has its own range of shade tolerance. Also, remember that not all shade-tolerant trees are truly shade-loving trees. Many breeds simply have the ability to survive in the shade, but may lose some of their decorative features. nine0003
For example, individual trees that bloom profusely in the sun may produce much fewer flowers in the shade. And deciduous trees, which when grown in the sun show a very bright decorative autumn color, in the shade in autumn, can give out faded, inconspicuous shades of foliage.
1. Sugar maple
Sugar maple ( Acer saccharum ) is best known for its fall color as its foliage turns bright scarlet in autumn. This type of maple is also considered the best tree for extracting the juice used to make maple syrup.
This is a beautiful tree for landscape design, in the summer it has carved bright green leaves with a palmately dissected shape. Other species names - stone maple and hard maple . It is used in urban landscaping, as well as in large gardens, as it grows quite tall.
- USDA hardiness zones: 3 to 8.
- Light requirement : Full sun to full shade.
- Height : up to 40 meters
- Soil Requirements : Loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
2. Eastern Hemlock
Eastern Hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis ) is one of the few evergreen trees that can tolerate shade. It is a decorative, moisture-loving species that can tolerate lower light levels during the day. Eastern hemlock may have several trunks, gray shoots. The needles are arranged in two rows, they are dark green, the reverse side has silver lines.
From a distance, hemlock branches look like spruce branches, but their needles are not at all sharp. Cones are small, no more than 2 - 3 cm.
Species plants are full-fledged trees, while numerous varieties grow as low shrubs of various habits, including creeping forms. Hemp grows slowly. In nature, individual specimens live up to 1000 years.
- USDA hardiness zones: 4 to 8.
- Light requirement : Full sun to full shade.
- Height : by the age of 10-15 the tree reaches 10 meters in height. nine0054
- Soil Requirements : Stony to medium fertility soil.
3. Japanese yew
Japanese yew ( Taxus cuspidata ) is another shade-tolerant evergreen tree. In fact, it is one of the best evergreens for full shade. The plant is native to China, Japan, Korea and the Russian Far East.
This conifer tolerates very dry and shady conditions well. It usually grows as a spreading tree or tall shrub. The needles are dark green, flat, non-thorny. nine0003
There are many varieties and hybrids of yew. Female specimens have unusual bumps that look like bright red berries. Care should be taken as the plant is poisonous.
- USDA hardiness zones: 4-7.

4. Alternifolia derain
Alternifolia derain, or pagoda ( Cornus alternifolia ) is a deciduous sprawling tree or large shrub with multi-tiered branches, wide conical shape. The plant looks very elegant due to the pronounced tiering, and the lower tier of its shoots hangs down to the very ground.
Clusters of tiny, star-shaped, creamy-white flowers appear on the tree in spring, followed by small, round, blue-black fruits. Flowering is more abundant with a lot of sun, but still deren is one of the possibilities for decorating heavily shaded places. There are also varietal forms with variegated leaves. nine0003
5. Black alder
Black alder ( Alnus glutinosa ) is a fast-growing, moisture-loving deciduous tree that is easily adapted to various growing conditions, native to Europe. They are pyramidal in shape and can tolerate heavily waterlogged soils but will also tolerate somewhat dry conditions.
0003
Alder has beautiful glossy leaves and rather decorative knobs and wattles. The smooth gray bark of these plants is especially attractive in winter, when it stands out against the background of snow. Black alder is able to absorb nitrogen from the air and increase soil fertility through root nodules. Alder trees are also valuable in landscape restoration projects where the soil is severely depleted. Black alder has decorative forms of short stature.
6. Acetic sumac
Plain sumac ( Rhus glabra ) and Stag sumac ( R. typhina ) are the most common and accessible landscape species of this plant.
Both of them grow up to 3 - 5 meters in height and grow in the form of a large shrub or small tree. Sumac is also well known for its striking bright red foliage in autumn. nine0003
The species can be distinguished by the fact that the branches of the stag sumac have a fluffy surface. Most gardeners grow sumac for its colorful fall decoration. Sumac has beautiful feathery leaves up to 50 cm long, which turn bright red in autumn (there are also yellow and orange varieties of sumac). Additional decoration - panicles of red fruits. The plants are drought tolerant but grow taller with regular watering in the absence of rain.

7. Western thuja
Western thuja ( Thuja occidentalis ) is an evergreen that adds elegance to your garden all year round. Differs in flat, spreading, horizontal "paws" and fragrant dark green needles. The crown of the thuja is conical and consists of short spreading branches. Tall varieties have a dense columnar habit. However, it should be borne in mind that with strong shading, the thuja will have a looser crown, but this shortcoming can be partially corrected by a haircut.
Thuja occidentalis is most often used as an accent plant, but is also popular for making hedges. There are numerous varieties of thuja with decorative needles (most often golden), however, this quality of the variety will be manifested only in full sun. In this regard, for partial shade it is more expedient to choose varieties with green needles. nine0003
8. Korean Fir
Korean Fir ( Abies Koreana ) is a compact evergreen coniferous tree with a conical or pyramidal crown shape and well-defined tiered branches. The branches are densely covered with short, but wide, non-thorny needles. From above, the needles are shiny, dark green in color, and from below - silvery. Korean fir comes into fruiting early. Cones are very beautiful purple color (up to 7 cm long). Unlike spruces, cones on fir branches do not hang, but grow vertically. nine0003
There are many varieties of Korean fir, including dwarf ones, and plants with yellow or silver needles (“inside out”).

Dear readers! Shade gardens are an equally fun way to get creative with your landscaping. Fortunately, most shade-tolerant breeds are easy to grow. And under the trees, you can place perennial plants with low lighting requirements, such as hostas, astilbes, buzulnik, bergenia, kupena, hoofed hoof, and others. nine0003
which grow in Russia and Moscow, their names, descriptions and features
It is difficult to overestimate the function that trees perform. A huge number of their species pass through incredible volumes of air every second, purifying it from carbon dioxide and other harmful impurities, being the lungs of our planet.
It is quite easy to distinguish different types of trees from each other if you know what shape the foliage and crown of a particular type of tree have.
As of 2015, there were over three trillion trees worldwide. At the same time, Russia occupies the first place in terms of their number. However, due to deforestation and forest fires, the number of trees is steadily declining. nine0003
Plant taxonomy
In botany, a species is a collection of individuals with similar characteristics and descended from the seeds of a single plant, the properties of which are inherited. Tree species, in turn, are divided into subspecies, forms and varieties.
Any plant has a name consisting of two words. The first designates its genus, and the second defines its specific name. For example, Norway spruce or European larch.
All plant names have Latin names and are also double. Such names are accepted in all countries and are international. The first Latin word, which always begins with a capital letter, indicates the plant's belonging to a particular genus, and the second indicates its species. For example, Larix decidua (European larch). nine0003
In turn, plant varieties can be divided into groups or breeds. The largest of them:
Types of trees in Russia
Apart from Russia, far from all countries can boast of the abundance and diversity of forests. Perhaps only Brazil and Canada are the only closest competitors.
The most famous trees of central Russia have long been sung in songs, poems and prose have been written about them. Birch, aspen, pine, oak, willow and other species have entered folklore since ancient times.
It is worth noting that conifers are the most numerous of their species in Russia. nine0003
Main names of coniferous trees in Russia:
Scotch fir
Fir grows mainly in the European part of Russia. However, found in Siberia and the Caucasus . The height of the plant can reach up to 50 meters, with a meter-thick trunk. The lifespan of this powerful evergreen tree ranges from 500 to 700 years. nine0003
Scotch fir has a sharp and well-defined crown cone, and shiny needles with a dark tint are decorated with white stripes in the stomata on the reverse side. The color of the bark of this plant is light gray, but you can find trunks with a reddish tint.
At the age of about 40-50 years fir begins to bear fruit. Fir cones, bark and needles are widely used in folk medicine for the preparation of various infusions and decoctions.
Norway spruce
In Russia, spruce is a forest-forming species and grows throughout the country. The height of this plant reaches 35 meters, but there are giants up to 50 meters. nine0003
The spruce crown is in the form of a regular cone, which descends to the very ground. The upper part of the crown is always sharp and never changes its shape.
The needles of spruce are four-sided, flattened, shiny and with a dark green tint, having a needle-like shape. The length of such needles reaches 2-3 centimeters and more . Near the ground, the trunk diameter of an adult spruce ranges from 80 to 120 cm. Spruce grows throughout its life, sometimes reaching 300 years of age.
Cedar pine
Siberian cedar, or cedar pine, is a plant with a trunk width of up to one and a half meters and a height of up to 45 m. The needles of the cedar pine are trihedral, growing in small bunches. Among the pine family, cedar is one of its most ancient representatives.
A tree lives up to 500 - 600 years, and under favorable conditions - up to 800.
In the Urals in the last century , according to some information, one could meet cedar pines with a trunk up to two meters wide. Now it is unrealistic to meet such giants. They have long been gone, not only in the Urals, but even in Siberia. nine0003
The trunk is slender, branching begins at a height of 1.5-2 meters. The bark is in small cracks of a gray or brownish-red hue. The needles are trihedral, collected in bunches of 5 needles. The crown of the cedar has a pyramidal shape of dark green color with a gray tint.
European larch
European larch is the most common species among all the rest of its family. Its height can reach 50 meters, but most often - 25-40 m. The crown of a larch does not always have the shape of a regular cone. nine0011 The bark is scaly and thin and on mature trees it is fissured.
Larch needles are light green in color, sometimes you can see a color with a bluish coating.
On short shoots, the needles grow in bunches.
The tree grows in the European part of the country and in the Urals, and the maximum age of life reaches 500 years.
The most numerous representatives of deciduous species in Russia:
Common birch
The famous birch grows in central Russia, and its habitat ranges from hot subtropics to areas with a very harsh climate. An adult tree reaches 40 meters in height and up to one and a half meters in width.
The color of the bark of the tree is white or pink with a brown tint, sometimes you can find birches with a yellowish-white trunk. Young birch branches are red-brown in color with characteristic dark warts. nine0003
Small-leaved linden
This tree grows from the west of Russia to the Urals. The height of the trunk ranges from 20 to 30 meters, and the crown, which has a spherical shape, gives it a majestic appearance.
The diameter of the crown can reach from 15 to 20 meters. The tree lives up to 600 years.
Linden is known for its beneficial properties, due to which its leaves are actively used in cooking. Many recipes of traditional medicine are based on leaves, bark and even roots of small-leaved linden. nine0003
The tree is an excellent honey plant. Its persistent aroma actively attracts bees, and honey is viscous, healing and tasty, with the highest quality.
English oak
Tree of the beech family. Another name is common oak. The crown of the tree is broad-pyramidal or spherical with large massive branches.
Young trees have a gray bark, while mature trees have a dark bark with large cracks. The height of the tree reaches 50 meters, and the width is up to 2 m. The average life expectancy of this plant is 500 years. nine0003
Oak leaves are lobed with a characteristic toothed-rounded edge of a simple shape. By mid-autumn, fruits begin to ripen at the oak - acorns.
Common aspen
The habitat of this plant is places with a cold and temperate climate throughout Russia. The aspen trunk, which has a wedge-shaped shape, reaches a height of up to 35 meters, with a diameter of 1 meter.
The tree lives only up to 90 years, and only in rare cases up to 150. Young trees have a greenish-gray smooth bark, while in adults it becomes darker and cracks. nine0003
Aspen is very rich in useful properties. Since ancient times, the bark of this tree has been added to food, after being dried and crushed. She relieved fatigue, which was especially important for the taiga residents.
Norway Maple
Known for its unique leaf shape, this plant grows up to 30 meters in height. In good conditions, maple can live up to 200 years. The reddish-gray tint and smooth bark distinguish young trees from older trees, which are darker in color and cracked. nine0003
Maple leaves up to 20 cm in diameter with pronounced veins and five lobes, the bottom two being small and the top three being large.
In autumn, maple becomes especially beautiful when its leaves begin to turn brown, red, yellow.
Maple is most common in the European part of Russia and the Caucasus, in broad-leaved and mixed forests. Maple juice, leaves and shoots are widely used in folk medicine.
Trees of Moscow
In the parks of the capital you can even find species that are not typical for the area, some of which were planted and grown on purpose. nine0003
The main botanical garden of Moscow and the arboretum literally abound with many varieties of trees. Among them, the most common are: mountain ash, poplar, chestnut, aspen, pear, apple, oak, elm, ash, willow, willow, lilac, yellow locust, white locust, viburnum, wild rose.
If exotic species of plants can be found in Moscow parks, species that usually grow in the European part of Russia are planted in the yards and streets of the city. Every year, planned events are held to plant new young seedlings throughout Moscow and the region.
