tree fern gaarden

skeeterbug_2007

Help! I live in So Cal and I have a large mulberry tree (60ft) we have a small 3 foot wall around the tree. This is all shade because of the tree. I was thinking of planting ferns around the tree, with a drip system etc. I am worried about the tree getting alot of water #1 and if this is a good match. Ferns love the front yard because of the shade and coolness. Any suggestions?
