Hi - here's a pic of my garden directly under a Pine - the big trunk on the left is a pine, and the group of trunks in the top right are a different form of pine. You can see the hosta, pachysandra, ferns, and impatiens. You can't see that on the far left, out of the picture, is the rest of the bed where astilbe and caladium are in the midst of more hosta. The tree is approximately 65 feet tall. However, the pines are trimmed up quite a bit, so the shade is not as dense. I might suggest that you trim your trees up some to give more varieties of plants a good chance to survive - Dax
