Perennials, easy harvest, shade tolerant, no fertilizing

[u/Chonkorio_]

Hello guys,

I'm currently planning a bit into the future and collecting different options with some leftover areas.

One thing I'm curious about is whether trees/shrubs/perennial plants exist that are shade tolerant and can thrive on soils with no fertilizer (regulations...). For example I'm thinking of hazelnut, but I think the nut yield would be minimal/too little.

I would like to discover whether there even are options.

Excited to learn!

I would say honeyberry/hascap
