Funnily enough, you could try Berberis. I was reading about the one that
was in our garden and Hyams had written that it was planted in the shade
of
copper beeches and he says something to the effect that no tree gives
deeper
shade than those! Quite a few places offer Berberis as hedging plants.


Thanks Sacha
Did you have any variety in mind?
