Under deciduous canopy Bajo copa de arbol caducifolio
Under leafless deciduous trees, spring light reaches the ground just when bulbs and woodland plants are waking up, then summer shade keeps the soil cooler when Salem heat arrives. That pattern fits crocus, daffodils, hellebore, lilies, vine maple, Pacific dogwood, and serviceberry. Bajo arboles caducifolios sin hojas, la luz de primavera llega al suelo justo cuando los bulbos y las plantas de bosque empiezan a despertar, y luego la sombra del verano mantiene el suelo mas fresco cuando llega el calor de Salem. Ese patron favorece a crocus, daffodils, hellebores, lilies, vine maple, Pacific dogwood y serviceberry.
