Mayhaws are good understory trees. Paw paws also if you can find them. plant in volume, you will lose a few of all of them to wildlife. Chickasaw plums trees - find some seeds and plant a couple dozen in a small patch. in ten years you'll have a nice growth of wild plums.

I have several patches of chickasaw plum I planted throughout my property. I plant them 2-4' apart in a checkerboard pattern, they will fill into a big thicket over time. Mine should start putting on plums in the next year or two. Good summer food for deer, turkeys, and everything else. Good cover, too, for rabbits and quail.
