We call this under-planting, and shrubs like Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and Mountain Laurels will thrive in almost perfect conditions. This open habit also allows shrubs or perennials to grow under the tree successfully. Its open branching structure allows this tree to create a filtered shade that allows some sunlight to reach the ground. This small tree is commonly seen in courtyards or growing in large containers on patios or decks and will add a cooling purple color to sunny areas. This particular Japanese Maple is perfect for growing under power lines or in front of homes where a larger tree may hide the architectural aspects of the house.
