Edit: It's a Norway Maple. Boooo.

So we have this beautiful silver maple in our yard but year over year, it’s slowly killed all ground cover in a ten foot radius around it. Even the creeping charlie has noped out.

I’m trying to find something that can hang on along this embankment. We even considered landscaping to put in tiered beds, but I imagine with shallow roots, we’d kill the tree by doing that.

I got 5 lbs of UMN microclover mix to overseed, but is that also a fool’s task? Any alternative ideas?
