You love your mature tree, but find that it is difficult to garden below it. Its greedy roots suck up all the water, there is little sun below it and little soil in between its large roots, plus it sheds leaves, drowning your plants in litter. Learn about strategies to deal with these issues and find out which native plants will grow below large deciduous and evergreen trees. You can have a native garden in spite of these wonderful giants.
