Hi, Marge.  Very helpful info. on planting around trees.  To your list of
plants I would add Solomon's Seal (Esp. the variegated type), Hosta
undulata 'Erromena' (which is quite drought tolerant), Arisaema tripartita,
some gingers (Asarum species).  People have told me dry shade is perfect
for cyclamen, but I have never grown them.
