I posted a version of this in Woodlands but guess I specifically am wondering about my arisaema.

I have a huge boxelder tree that is coming down this week....creates dense shade for the west/northwest corner of the fenced yard. It is growing into the power lines and they keep removing half of the tree....so then it suckers like crazy back into the lines...the cycle continues.

When the tree comes down, it will open up the area to southern sun from about 2pm on. Fortunately, when the wicked western sun kicks in, the privacy fence will shield much of the area.

Among many other woodland plants, I have several varieties of arisaema. I can and will water the dogdoodoo out of the stuff this summer and plan to plant another/some smaller tree(s) back there eventually but just wondering if I am going to kill off my hard-earned woodland area. :(

Anyway, thoughts? Suggestions?

Thank you!!!
