You could always add a dwarf mulberry tree...they top out at about 8 feet and hang low enough for your sully to munch on...without damaging the tree!

When you say "shade plant," do you mean one that PROVIDES shade, or one that GROWS in shade?

You'll wanna avoid the above listed vendor...best to avoid fruiting trees! One of our site vendors offers them on occasion...here's the link...

I dunno, we've had a lot of success with fig trees from them, never any issues. Another tree vendor ive used for grape vines is Isons. I have about 10 gorgeous vines growing this year that i received and planted last Spring. My Sully loves the new baby grape leaves, picked fresh each day.

I'm referring to mulberries...they are no good for sulcatas! Grape leaves are great...but you can get them anywhere!
