I am trying to find a small (preferably less than 15') tree (or large shrub that I can prune into a small tree ) for a spot in my yard. Here's the catch--it has to be able to be in the shade all day long...except for about 2 hours of strong, hot West sun. (See why I'm having trouble?). The spot is average to dry with amended clay soil.
My thoughts: Sandcherry, Redbud (maybe one of the shorter cultivars), maybe dogwood, though I think the West sun would do it in. Anyone grown Sandcherry? Any thoughts? Help! I gotta get it planted soon, or wait until next year.
