I've had good sugestions from people for shady plants,but i want a good
tree or smallish tree which is nice looking and will grow in a really
shady spot outside a window,the tree that is there now is a mirror tree
is not doing well and that is almost a weed and not very attractive.
any hints


Go a camellia and when it is large enough you can prune it to shape.

Cheers
