Trees are significant investments, so it is important to choose the right species for your particular landscape. Not all properties are exposed to sun as others are, making it difficult to find flora that suits their shady environments. Some properties are plush with evergreens, and never see sunlight at all. For these kinds of properties, or areas in a yard that remain mostly shady, the right tree choice is vital. Not all trees can survive in shade or even partial shade. No matter how much water, fertilizer, and root stimulator you use, certain tree species simply cannot thrive without natural sunlight.

So if your property is one with mostly shade, or shady sections, and you wish to plant some new trees, be sure to educate yourself on the appropriate species to buy for optimal growth and survival.
