Surprisingly, there are more shade-loving small palm trees than there are sun-lovers. But, when you think about it, this is natural as these understory palms by their nature don't penetrate the upper canopy and prefer filtered light. As we approach the 20 foot mark, there are a lot more sun palms than shade species.
Several varieties of maples also exhibit peeling bark, including the paperbark (Acer griseum) and the trident maple (Acer buergerianum). The paperbark is considered an understory tree because it grows to a maximum height of 30 feet; its spread usually is equal to its height.ost trees slough off some bark each year to make way for new growth. On trees such as the shagbark hickory (Carya ovata), however, most of the bark remains on the tree, curling upward and providing the inspiration for the tree's name.
