I want to plant some border trees or bushes at the edge of my lot,

1. Are there any trees/bushes recommended for areas that only see sun
one-two hrs in the morning?
2. Is this something I can do now, or am I better off waiting till
spring? *(Boston area)

In your zone I'd imagine any of your average shade trees like Oaks &
Maples would do just fine. Oaks are slow growers but once they reach
maturity its hard to find a better looking tree. Maples are pretty
quick growers, but not going to get quite as big as your oaks. Ash &
Weeping Willows are also another decent option. It sort of depends on
what kind of shape you want as well.
