These trees were lovely before you started to prune them. They are now exceptionally nice trees. Anyone would be proud to own them I'm sure. Great video Peter, thanks.

First thing coming to mind would be yew, if the poison is no concern. But generally look at plants naturally growing inside forests, in understory conditions beneath the canopy of taller trees. E.g. hornbeam might be another good candidate. Even vigorous Japanese maple cultivars (or the original wild form) could do o.k., avoid red or lace leaf or dwarf varieties, though.
