What is a good shrub/bush?

It's to be on my property line. Thanks for any advice!

What is a good shrub/bush?
If the purpose of these bushes is for privacy, I recommend juniper. There are many kinda of Junipers, but for a privacy fence the kind we have is green (some are blue-green and some are goldish-green) and it grows fast and quite large. In addition they are very hardy and there is no maintenance required, unless you want to keep them a certain size. You can prune them to keep them in check or just let them grow. For variety or color you can add other hardy bushes in the Juniper family in between them and you will have a very strong barrier. (Deer and Bunnies don't like them!!!)

Reply:It depends what the growing conditions are. My favourite bush is a silver variegated dogwood and shrub is a little princess spirea. The dogwood will grow quite tall and full while the spirea will grow about 2 feet but very thick and full.
Reply:You did not mention where you live! It depends on your climate primarily!


My suggestion is that you answer these questions and then go to a local nursery- Not a chain. (The chains usually carry stuff imported to the area and anything grown in your climate/soil will do much better then someplace else)





Flowers, fall color or any thing like that important to you?


How big do you want it to get?


Do you want flowers or evergreen?


Easy to care for or fussy?


How much shade or sun?

Reply:I have red barberry growing into a hedge. It has nice color in the summer and fall, and gets red berries on for winter interest. It also gets about 4-7 feet tall and can be trimmed to any size, so it wont get too out of hand. The best part is that it is full of thorns. If you have problems with trespassers like I did, they'll think twice before jumping over or into these bushes.

Reply:If you want some color try Hydrgena's or rhoderdendrums or for a evergree effect try Abroviate's. Honeysuckle is nice too.
