The tree of heaven is an opportunistic plant that thrives in full sun and disturbed areas.

[6] [8] It is considered a shade-intolerant tree and cannot compete in low-light situations, [71] though it is sometimes found competing with ...
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.
Eastern Hemlock is a shade-tolerant tree. In ecology, shade tolerance is a plant's ability to tolerate low light levels.

T. baccata is extremely shade-tolerant, with the widest temperature range for photosynthesis among European trees, able to photosynthesize in winter after deciduous trees have shed their leaves. [2] 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 Sri Lanka it is known in Sinhala as the Maara tree, although for a short while it was known as the Lamaasuriya tree after Le Mesurier, the British civil servant who was responsible for introducing it as a shade tree. [11] It is also grown in Karachi, Pakistan. In Mauritius and La Réunion it announces the coming of the new year.
