Native Sun / Part Shade Tolerant Trees:
Trees that Benefit Wildlife
Trees adapted to full sun and part shade are among the most valuable plants you can add to a landscape for supporting wildlife. In open, sunny conditions, these trees produce abundant flowers, fruits, and acorns that sustain a wide range of species - from pollinators and songbirds to small mammals and caterpillars that form the foundation of the food web. Sun-loving oaks for example, are a keystone tree species in the Eastern U.S. and host hundreds of Lepidoptera species, providing essential food for nesting birds.
