It can grow under partial canopies of beech and other deciduous broad-leafed trees, though it only grows into large trees without such shade. [ 1 ] In centuries past T. baccata was exterminated from many woodlands as a poisonous hazard to the cattle and horses that often grazed in the woods [ citation needed ] .
A list of tree species, grouped generally by biogeographic realm and specifically by bioregions, and shade tolerance. Shade-tolerant species are species that are able to thrive in the shade, and in the presence of natural competition by other plants. Shade-intolerant species require full sunlight and little or no competition.
Taxus brevifolia, the Pacific yew or western yew, is a species of tree in the yew family Taxaceae native to the Pacific Northwest of North America. It is a small evergreen conifer , thriving in moisture and otherwise tending to take the form of a shrub .
They are relatively slow-growing and can be very long-lived, and reach heights of 2.5–20 m (8.2–65.6 ft), with trunk girth averaging 5 m (16 ft). [4] They have reddish bark , lanceolate, flat, dark-green leaves 10–40 mm ( 1 ⁄ 2 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and 2–3 mm ( 3 ⁄ 32 – 1 ⁄ 8 in) broad, arranged spirally on the stem, but ...
Coleus can grow in full or partial shade, so it’ll add a pop of color to a dark location outside. Hardiness zones: 10 to 11. Growing conditions: Partial to full shade and moist, loose soils.

Taxaceae (/ t æ k ˈ s eɪ s i. iː,-ˌ aɪ /), commonly called the yew family, is a coniferous family which includes six extant and two extinct genera, and about 30 species of plants, or in older interpretations three genera and 7 to 12 species.
Species within the Torreya genus are all adapted to establish and grow slowly as subcanopy woody plants in forest habitats of moderate to dense shade. [46] In this way, their leaf structure and growth habit resemble species of yew, genus Taxus, which is a close relative. [27] Stems will lean in very shady conditions, in quest of patches of ...
