Toxicodendron diversilobum is extremely variable in growth habit and leaf appearance. It grows as a dense 0.5–4 metres (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –13 feet) tall shrub in open sunlight, a treelike vine 3–9 m (10–30 ft) and may be more than 30 m (100 ft) long with an 8–20 centimetres (3 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 7 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches) trunk, as dense thickets in shaded areas, or any form in between.
A list of tree species, grouped generally by biogeographic realm and specifically by bioregions, and shade tolerance. Shade-tolerant species are species that are able to thrive in the shade, and in the presence of natural competition by other plants. Shade-intolerant species require full sunlight and little or no competition.
T. baccata is extremely shade-tolerant, with the widest temperature range for photosynthesis among European trees, able to photosynthesize in winter after deciduous trees have shed their leaves. [2] It can grow under partial canopies of beech and other deciduous broad-leafed trees, though it only grows into large trees without such shade. [1]

Shade-tolerant plants are also usually adapted to make more use of soil nutrients than shade-intolerant plants. [2] A distinction may be made between "shade-tolerant" plants and "shade-loving" or sciophilous plants. Sciophilous plants are dependent on a degree of shading that would eventually kill most other plants, or significantly stunt their ...
It is a graceful, pendulous shade tree, which grows from about 4 to 16 metres (13 to 52 ft) tall [5] and has a trunk with a diameter of up to about 0.45 m. [6] It has a spreading crown that becomes weeping as the tree matures. [1] Young plants have rigid branches and short straight phyllodes that appear in clusters.
Most maples or acers are trees growing to a height of 10–45 m (33–148 ft). Others are shrubs less than 10 meters tall with a number of small trunks originating at about ground level. Most species are deciduous , and many are renowned for their autumn leaf colours , but a few in southern Asia and the Mediterranean region are mostly evergreen .
