Trees That Thrive in Full Shade

Not all trees need full sun to shine. This curated collection features stunning trees and shrubs that thrive in shaded areas — whether you're planting along fences, under established canopies, or in dappled courtyard light.

These shade-tolerant varieties are ideal for softening dark corners, adding privacy in tricky spots, or simply creating a lush, layered garden where the sun doesn’t quite reach.

From hardy natives like Syzygium and Tristaniopsis to elegant flowering Camellias and Maples — find the perfect tree to transform your shaded space.
