A lot of trees that tolerate full shade would be short because in their
native habitat they would be and understory tree. Some would grow tall and
fast after a disturbance where sunlight is increased. What are the species
of trees that are there now?

Its a hard question to answer. I do not have the answer.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

Hello, and thanks in advance for your assistance. I am in zone 7, on Long
Island, New York. I am looking for some privacy trees that would
preferably grow tall and full, yet not too wide, as their location is not
a very wide space (between a fence and a path). They would be in partial
to almost full shade, which I know would rule out many evergreens such as
arborvitae. While I prefer an evergreen suggestion, it could also be a
non-evergreen, as the privacy I seek is mostly for the summer months.
Thanks very much for your time and advice.
