The area gets very hot so boo hoo on the maple.

The suggestions you have are very nice alternates. It may be too small an area for the width of the Pee Gee but it is a very beautiful tree.

I will look into the Rose of Sharon and the Dwarf Korean Lilac a little more closely. Thank you so much Pete.
