Under mature pines, sycamores, and cherries, plants face root competition, shade, and allelopathy (pine resin inhibits growth). Dig planting holes 3x the root ball size, add compost at the bottom and 5 inches as mulch. Water copiously the first year; plant in fall. Acid-loving plants like rhododendrons, camellias, Japanese maples, Aucuba japonica, Viburnum tinus, Skimmia japonica, and Acanthus mollis tolerate these conditions. Mulch and consistent moisture are key.
