I was trying to spot some good areas to spread out my plumies next year and hopefully put a few in the ground while still potted.
I seem to have run into a small problem. I have no more trees in my yards anymore. Cut down the last one this year in my backyard as it's roots were up lifting my fence. Is there some other type of trees/plants that I can plant for year round that I can use for shade? I really don't want huge trees again. The 1st one in my front yard starting up lifting the cement in my drive way so that was cut down 2 years ago. The only shade I have is provided by the house. Which faces the south. So, my front yard get full sun from sunrise to sunset.
I do have a back patio but it's roofing is a green fiberglass material that allows some light to shine through (sorta turns everything under the patio a slight green color) but still provides shade. Not sure why my grandmother (when my grandmother passed a in 2002, I bought the house to keep it in the family) decided to put this type of roof up. I was just curious if anyone knew of some small trees/plants I can look for next year or even possibly this year to provide some shade for my plumies next year. It was hard to keep moving my plumies all the time in the very hot days.

thanks in advance for you help
