Would ferns grow under Norway Maples? - We have 3 old messy Norway Maples in our backyard. Love the shade from them, and really don't want to remove them, however, they suck the life out of everything under them. Just love this photo with these lush ferns. Do you think ferns could grow under the Maples? Thanks so much for your insight. »
orlando comas, landscape architect. I work in south Florida and other tropical and subtropical areas and not familiar with yours. I suggest you speak to a landscape architect or nurseryman from your hardiness zone and they should be able to help you.
Thanks.
janetwrose so these would be considered tropical and couldn't grow in southern Canada? I picked up some Cinnamon ferns which resemble these but have a brownish flower.... my front yard is so similar to this, it is truly magnificent, all though you have the beauty of oak trees which are beautiful on there own and rare, I have a mix of evergreen and maple :)
myriban Just beautifully done! Love love love the Live Oaks! Would love to plant them here but we live in northeastern NJ (zone 6b)....any chance there is a comparable northern alternative? The canopy and branching pattern is so excellent. :-)
orlando comas, landscape architect. When used as street trees in new projects, Miami-Dade County requires them to be planted at a spacing of 35' average of your street frontage. I will rather see them planted at 50' o.c. and Becky is correct, keep them away from the structures as well.
Smaller circles create curves within this space and also help set off the individual trees. It's a lush look that will work all year round in the right climate. Design tip: Not all trees do well with plantings underneath; many, in fact, will suffer from overwatering or root competition. Check with your nursery or local gardening experts before planting.

I would never have thought to plant ferns under the oak trees but it's a great idea since ferns require shade and other plant would require more sun...
Gonna get some ferns!
Thanks.
