Questions about native trees (zone 6b)

6 years ago

Does Styrax americanus need as much sun as Halesia spp.? I have an area that stays moist but it is shaded, surrounded by hickory and black walnut trees. I planted a silverbell that grew, but it leaned towards an open area, so I moved it. I'd like to plant "something" in that location.

Next question: Is there any reason NOT to plant a hoptree? I have an open area (full sun) that can fit it. Also, is there any reason NOT to plant an Allegheny chinquapin?

Thanks for any advice.
