I was hoping to get some advice on a tree or shrub thats good in the shade. This is for my backyard that faces west. We have a row of columnar oak trees along the back of our house. We put in a patio cover a couple years ago and our southern most tree in the row now gets almost permanent shade until the sun gets low in the evening. It seems healthy still but just wont grow taller like the other trees. I wanted to see about a recommendation on a replacement. I think i am leaning towards a shrub but would consider a tree as well.
So far I have been recommended a black lace elderberry, dawn viburnum, and a acer shirasawnum Jordan. i was also recommended a hick yew shrub and a Japanese maple.
It seems like i have received mixed info on if the previous plants would do well in the conditions i will be planting it in.

How dry is it in that area? Does your irrigation reach the planting area? If it's dry, Mallow-leaf Ninebark would be a good shrub.. or Kashmir Sage as a tall perennial flower.
Here is the link to shrub advice from USU: https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=2075&context=extension_curall
I find them an excellent resource when selecting appropriate plants for our climate.
Thanks for your advice
