Mixed native species hedge
 

Hi. Under my planning permission for an extension i have to plant a mixed native species hedge. My question is what options do I have as the hedge will be in full shade! Lots of the ones I like need partial shade. I was thinking Hornbeam as they look like a nice bright green colour for part of the year and a nice red colour in autumn winter. What could I mix in with hornbeam? Would crab apple or blackthorn be any good or does hornbeam look best on its own? Many thanks

It's impossible to say without knowing where in the world you might be.
