It's very difficult for plants to live under trees in the dry shade. The species that has the greatest chance to live well under that tree are spring bulbs.
Some plants can live there but you'll have to improve to ground if that's possible and give the plants water and fertilizer for several seasons long.

Here are some plants that you can try for under a tree:

• Asplenium scolopendrium
• Aucuba japonica 'Rozanne'
• Bergenia cordifolia 'Purpurea'
• Chionodoxa gigantea
• Convallaria majalis
• Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald 'n' gold'
• Galanthus nivalis
• Hedera helix
• Helleborus foetidus 'Wester flisk' you can also try other species.
• Iris foetidissima and other
• Narcissus
• Rhododendron species
• Scilla non-scripta
• Vinca minor 'Altropurpurea'
