General Shrub Planting Tips

(welcomia/123rf.com)

While planting shrubs is just as easy as growing other plant types and trees, there are varieties of bushes with differing purposes. Some are the perfect screen shrub for privacy and wind protection, while others grow for the enjoyment of colorful blooms. Some shrubs are tropical and tolerate hot temperatures, and others produce lively foliage during the winter season. And, there are those that grow well on slopes for erosion control and others that attract a variety of wildlife. With so many choices, it’s essential to know which ones are best for growing in your area.
