Description
Native shrubs are ecologically beneficial but landscape suitability must also be considered. Discover native shrubs that are adaptable to tough conditions. Examples will include the readily available Rhus and Juniperus, as well as lesser-known taxa such as Aronia, Diervilla, Prunus, Myrica, Corylus, and Spiraea. Dr. Jessica Lubell will discuss her wide-ranging research, including controlled studies on the adaptability of native shrubs, and improved methods of nursery propagation to increase the availability of native taxa. Strengthen your knowledge of native shrubs suitable for challenging sites.
