Hi Rich, I recently read that bearberry (Arcrostaphylos uva-ursi) is salt
tolerant, as well as drought tolerant....I don't know how well it would do in
shade though, but maybe it would work in the sunnier spots. I think it
prefers lower pH soils too.
It would be nice to have website to look for salt tolerant plants. We get
ALOT of sand/salt on our boulevards here in Minnesota.
