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

Hydrangeas do okay on the shady side of the house provided they can
see plenty of blue sky (despite no direct sunlight). Hydrangeas are
deciduous though; are you wanting this as a screen from neighbours?
