Hi all,

I have a question about trees. I've posted this question on the SRGC forum too, but I'd like as many opinions as possible:

I'm going to start transforming a part of our meadow into a woodland and I'm wondering which trees (and shrubs) would be good to create shade there. It would be best if they don't compete to much with the plants I want to put underneath (Trillium/ Jeffersonia/Glaucidium/Jeffersonia/Adonis/Epimedium/...). Since I'm a newbie in the area of trees (I've been shade-gardening under the trees which were already present in the garden) any and all advice would be welcome.
