| | | Large plant/tree for shaded corner
Im looking for a plant/tree/shrub for a dark corner. 
The corner is about a foot,its between 2 fences and a shed.
It has Ivy growing up one of the fences,I would just like some thing a little more substantial! Flowering would be nice, but also thinking of wild life,and what might make their life easier.
Any ideas?  |

Clematis or honey suckle would do nicely.Fruit tree or a holly bush.

Fatsia japonica they are gorgeous, big leaves and insects and birds are attracted by the black berries I get blackcaps on mine. |

Have a google at propagation of fatsia.. | | |
