Shrubs of this size are an excellent means of screening and undesirable view
and providing privacy. These shrubs also very good foundation plantings
for larger buildings. Because they reach considerable heights, it is
important to anticipate ease of pruning when selecting taller shrubs.
Our nursery professional can advise you about the shrubs
that best meet your needs and provide information pertaining to shade tolerance,
hardiness, soil and water requirements.
