Deer Resistant Shrubs

Witch Hazel Witch Hazel is a shrub or small tree native to the North American, European, and Asian continents. It can grow as tall as twenty-five feet high, but many gardeners prune them into a lower, shrub-like appearance. Others adore this shrub because it flowers late in the fall--when an unexpected pop of vibrant yellow color turns heads. It's a relatively fast grower, with a rapid growth rate of two to three feet per growing season. When gardeners reach out to TN Nursery seeking advice on a low but dense shrub to define their property line, we often recommend witch hazel. How to Use Witch Hazel in Your Garden Witch hazel is a cold-hardy, drought-hardy, deer-resistant shrub. It grows well across most of the contiguous United States, regardless of soil type. When you plant it, find a partially sunny location and amend the soil with peat moss or mulch to give it the organic matter it needs. After you establish the plant, it requires little care other than occasional fertilizing. Some gardeners let witch hazel grow to its full height, especially when they want privacy or to block an unsightly view. However, others will groom it into a long, low hedge around a home's foundation or in a formal garden setting. Witch Hazel Is a Highly Attractive Shrub or Tree Witch hazel has light brown, smooth bark that forms an intriguing zig-zag pattern. Leaves unfurl and bring a refreshing dose of green in the early springtime. Each leaf is small, approximately four inches long, oval-shaped, and has slight toothiness along the edges. The greenery is lovely to behold all spring and summer. But the crowning glory occurs at the end of the season. In late fall, profuse amounts of four- to five-petalled, cheerful yellow flowers appear. Each petal is ribbon-like with an interesting crinkled texture.

BAMBOO PLANT - Arundinaria Gigantea Bamboo plants have two types of species that are often in use within residential landscapes. These plants increase by releasing underground runners, also known as rhizomes, which might emerge from the parent plant at a distance from the original location. They bridge those gaps between plants more quickly, making them perfect for use as screens, hedges, and the trendy open groove effect. Because the rhizomes develop horizontally at a depth of roughly 2 to 18 inches, it is possible to keep their growth under control. It can produce stunning thick hedges by employing a rhizome barrier to limit this subsurface expansion. Many of these plants can withstand the cold. The experience of strolling across a large, open grove full of these tall plants is unlike anything else. They are also helpful for various applications, including specimen groves, perennial security screens, windbreaks, noise and dust shields, groundcovers, and erosion management. They are also widely known for producing a tropical impression in a usually moderate or even frigid environment. The most effective method of controlling this plant is maintaining a groomed path around the planting. This route's minimum width should equal the maximum possible height of this species selected for the given area, if not more. Undoubtedly, this may not be practicable at all times, and the confinement methods available will vary according to the location. You may contain these plants using techniques such as rhizome barriers or rhizome trimming, both of which need continuous monitoring to be effective. Natural barriers such as everlasting waterbodies and dense darkness may also aid this purpose. Bamboo Plant is Easily Grown They are garden plants of the evergreen variety. They are easy to care for and do not require a lot of water. They are used in gardens in many ways and add an exotic feel to any backyard; They can be used as a hedge or screen to add privacy to your yard or in any other garden arrangements. They can grow in almost any climate and can last for many years. They come in a wide range of sizes, including dwarf and giant-sized. Bamboo requires very little maintenance These plants can also be grown in small containers inside and outside. Placing a number of them in your landscaping will help you to showcase your other garden plants. They are also known by many cultures to bring luck to their owners. They have also been grown to become bonsai trees. The stems are easily shaped and can be pruned to interlace. You can also prune bamboo trees back into topiaries. The under leaves are removed, leaving only clumps of leaves at the top. When planting bamboo trees as a screen, they should be planted in the area approximately 2 to 3 feet apart. That allows them to spread out and create the coverage you need. Pruning it back will stop further growth into areas you do not want. Once they have been planted, they will require very little maintenance. Bamboo is For Sale at Tennessee Wholesale Nursery with Low Prices and Fast Shipping

Red Crepe Myrtle Red Crepe Myrtle: TN Nursery customers go wild over the red crepe myrtle--sell hundreds of our multiple colors of crepe myrtles each year. Red crepe myrtle will bloom during the mid-summer. The hue is a bright pink-red color. Once the blossoms appear, they continue to bloom for four to six weeks. The species is super easygoing, requiring little help from you once established. Give your sapling some fertilizer and a nice sunny spot, water it every few days, and watch it grow! Many people mistake the red crepe myrtle for a tree. However, it is a deciduous shrub, despite its twenty to thirty-foot mature height. America loves the red crepe myrtle! Although it's not a North American native species, it thrives in the warmer USDA growing zones, especially in the southeastern states. The red crepe myrtle is cold-hardy and heat-hardy, which may explain its prevalence in the upper south, with freezing temperatures in the winter and blistering summers. It's also resistant to pest damage, disease, and mildew. The Red Crepe Myrtle Is a Real Showstopper The eye-popping shade of vibrant red appears across the south during the peak summertime heat. That's when enormous clusters of dainty red florets open up, creating the illusion of a single, vast flower. When left alone, the red crepe myrtle has multiple upright branches that grow into an elegant, shrub-like shape. However, some gardeners will prune it during its first few seasons to encourage it to grow straight and tall to appear like a tree. The medium-hue green leaves are smallish, around two inches long, glossy, and oval. They are bountiful and create a lush, green canopy to provide a break from the summer sun. The bark is light in color with a slightly rough texture. It is not entirely smooth, nor is it rough. The bark renews yearly, sloughing away in the late summer and exposing a fresh layer. Those stunning red crepe myrtle flowers become a blessing for birds: one-inch or smaller brown pods open to release many seeds. Red Crepe Myrtle Is Attractive to Insects and Feathered Friends Pollinators find the vivid red blossoms highly attractive. You will likely witness pollinator insects--bees, moths, dragonflies, and butterflies--enjoying the nectar of your red crepe myrtle. After the worms and insects retire for the winter, birds will seek out your red crepe myrtle, cracking open those pods to enjoy much-needed sustenance.

Its native range stretches from Florida to Virginia. However, it can survive in some cooler growing zones, as well. It is a lovely shrub with few care requirements and an easy-to-please nature. Carolina Allspice shrubs are drought-tolerant, heat-tolerant, insect-resistant, and disease-resistant. It's also not very fussy about the amount of light it receives and will perform well in either full sunshine or partial shade, as long as you put it in well-draining, fertile soil.  Other Common Names for Calycanthus floridus Besides Carolina allspice, you might hear gardeners refer to Calycanthus floridus by several other names, including these:  Bubby Bush Common Sweetshrub Spicebush Sweet Betsy Sweet Bubby Bush Sweetshrub Sweet Shrub  Most of these nicknames refer to the spicy-sweet aroma that the leaves emit when torn or bruised.  Where to Use Carolina Allspice in Your Landscape Carolina Allspice is an excellent all-around shrub--it's attractive and requires minimal care. Here are a few ways that TN Nursery customers use it in their yards:  Butterfly garden or pollinator garden: The fragrant blossoms will beckon butterflies, moths, and bumblebees to feast on the nectar. Urban garden: Urban community gardens plant Carolina allspice near their food plots to attract the same pollinators mentioned above and ensure food-growing success. Foundation planting: Carolina allspice is lovely planted around your home's foundation--it will help to prevent erosion.

Forsythia Shrub  Forsythia x intermedia, the common forsythia shrub, is a rapid-growing, deciduous shrub that will light up the springtime with its cheery golden-yellow blossoms. Another common name for the forsythia shrub is golden bells--a tribute to those lovely blooms.  This species is super easy to care for, and unfussy about soil quality or fertilizing--once or twice per year will do. Once fully grown, the forsythia is drought-resistant and heat-tolerant. Forsythia is a native species of Asia. However, it is well-suited and widespread in the American landscape, especially across the mid-south, southeast, and midwestern regions. Where to Use the Forsythia Shrub in Your Landscape  When customers call TN Nursery asking for help finding a species that will grow fast to cover an eyesore, we often recommend this shrub. Forsythia grows fast, making it an ideal option for a privacy hedge, to establish a property boundary, or in a natural area that needs some lovely color. Also worth noting is that the forsythia shrub is unbothered by low air quality, so landscapers often install it in an urban garden setting--park, playground, or any other city environment.  Select a full-sun spot in the yard--it needs at least six hours of direct sunshine. Forsythia will tolerate partial sunlight, but it might not bloom as profusely without direct sun. During the first year or two, provide your young forsythia with about an inch of water each week, especially during the long and hot mid-summer days. Once established, it will not require this extra step. Because it is a fast grower, most prune the forsythia to control the height in the early fall. Avoid pruning in the springtime, or you will sacrifice the gorgeous yellow flowers.  Gardeners Adore the Cheerful Springtime Flowers of the Forsythia Shrub  Forsythia is most famous for its cheery yellow blossoms. Each bloom is small (under an inch), bell-shaped, and has four petals. They grow up and down the stem, making a significant color statement.  The stems have a slight curve and bend into a gentle arch as the tree grows to its maximum ten-foot height. The leaves are approximately four inches long, medium or dark green, oval, and with slightly toothy edges.

Lilac Shrub  Syringa vulgaris, the famous lilac, is a TN Nursery customer favorite shrub that blooms every spring across the cooler USDA plant hardiness zones in the United States. The species is a European native species originating in the Balkan region. Eastern European immigrants brought this favorite shrub to remind them of home. Americans quickly adopted the lovely lilac. Today, it is a common site across many gardens. The lilac shrub is a hardy, cold-tolerant species. Indeed, a long, cold winter helps it produce its vibrant springtime colors. The lilac's sweet, fresh floral fragrance announces the arrival of spring. Many gardeners plant it near an often-open window to enjoy the aroma as they air and freshen their homes in the springtime. How to Use the Lilac Shrub in Your Landscape Syringa vulgaris is lovely as a stand-alone specimen. However, it is also gorgeous when you put it to use in the following settings: Pollinator garden or butterfly garden: Springtime pollinators, such as butterflies and bees, will visit this shrub. Hummingbird garden: Hummingbirds love the elongated shape of lilac flowers. Cutting garden: The lilac produces showstopping flowers that bloom abundantly enough for cutting.

They form on sturdy stems in an opposing pattern, are heart-shaped, and bright emerald to dark green in hue. Lilac flowers are the real star of the show.

The multi-branched shrub has graceful, slender branches that make a pleasing shape. During its early growth, gardeners often train it to grow taller to appear more tree-like. However, others leave it natural, allowing nature to take its course and develop a bushier look. Either way is correct--it depends on the gardener's preference. The medium-green oval leaves are small, measuring under two inches long. But many will develop, providing a lovely, shaded canopy. The bark is light and has a slightly rough texture.

Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Muskogee Crepe Myrtle: TN Nursery sells hundreds of crepe myrtles annually, but the hands-down customer favorite pick is the Muskogee crepe myrtle. The vibrant lavender to purple flowers provides luscious, vivid color that will brighten up the mid-summer landscape. The blossoms are long-lasting, displaying outrageous color for four to six weeks. Despite its height (up to thirty feet), the Muskogee crepe myrtle is a shrub, not a tree. Gardeners also love this shrub for its easy-care nature. All you will do when you receive your sapling is find a nice, sunny spot, fertilize it, and give it about an inch of water per week. Watch how fast it will grow! Why Gardeners Adore the Muskogee Crepe Myrtle For starters, the Asian native species is well-adapted for growing in the moderately warm USDA growing zones. It is a particular favorite of gardeners in the southeastern United States. It is also a resilient, healthy species. It's both cold-hardy and heat-hardy, which likely lends to its prevalence in the upper south, which experiences sub-freezing overnight winter temperatures and blistering heat during the summer. It's also resistant to pest damage, disease, and mildew. The Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Is Stunning Year Round The cheerful purple color spreads across the southeastern region during the peak summertime heat. That's when enormous clusters of dainty lavender to purple florets emerge. These large clumps of flowers create the look of a single, vast flower. If you don't prune it, the crepe myrtle has multiple upright branches that form a sprawling shrub shape. However, some gardeners choose to prune the shrub during its first few seasons, encouraging it to grow straight, tall, and tree-like The glossy, oval, two-inch green leaves are bountiful. They are numerous and thus create a lush and shady canopy. The bark is light gray, and while it's not entirely smooth, it is not rough, either. The bark sheds yearly, peeling from the trunks in the late summer. Those stunning red crepe myrtle flowers become a blessing for birds: one-inch or smaller brown fruits that will release many seeds. Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Attracts Songbirds and Insects Pollinating insects find the lovely purple blossoms highly attractive. You will almost certainly see many species--bees, moths, dragonflies, and butterflies--enjoying the nectar your Muskogee crepe myrtles provide. After worms and insects retire for the winter, birds have difficulty finding sustenance. Those brown fruits are an ideal food source. Watch the birds flock to your crepe myrtle to open the pods and feast on those seeds. Order Your Muskogee Crepe Myrtle From TN Nursery Today You will be satisfied when you order your Muskogee crepe myrtle from TN Nursery--we pride ourselves on supplying our customers with the most vigorous plants. Purple Crepe Myrtle Purple Crepe Myrtle: Despite its up to twenty-foot height, Lagerstroemia, or the crepe myrtle, is a deciduous shrub. It is a TN Nursery gardener's favorite--we sell hundreds of crepe myrtles in myriad colors every year. They bloom during the mid-summer months when most flowering trees have finished blossoming for the season. That makes them perfect when paired with earlier-season bloomers. Lagerstroemia is a species native to Korea and China, but American gardeners have since adopted the use of this shrub thanks to its extraordinary and abundant blossoms. Today, you will find it showing off in the warmer USDA growing zones, especially in the southeastern states. Purple Crepe Myrtle Offers Outstanding Beauty Lush, profuse lavender to purple blooms dot the landscape throughout the south in the summer months. Dozens of tiny purple florets comprise a large, appear like one enormous flower. Besides the gorgeous blooms, the crepe myrtle has other intriguing characteristics. The multi-branched shrub has lovely branches with slight dips and turns. It creates a beautiful silhouette. When the shrub is young and growing, gardeners can train it to grow tall and straighter or let it meander into a more natural state. Neither option is right or wrong. That boils down to preferences. The leaves are a perfect medium green hue, oval, and under two inches long. Shrubs become thick with these lovely leaves, providing welcome shade from the summer heat. The canopy is wide and spreading. The bark is light and has a slightly rough texture. It renews by peeling during the summer, especially after the blossoms fade. Purple Crepe Myrtle Will Nourish Wintertime Birds Crepe myrtle flowers give way to brown pods under an inch in size, each containing dozens of seeds. As the leaves change and drop in the autumn, the pods stay on the branches. Cardinals, finches, and other wintertime feathered friends will crack open the pods and eat those seeds. These pods are a vital food source, as insects, worms, and other nutritional sources are unavailable.

Chinese viburnum macrocephalum Old Fashioned Snowball Height Shipped 3-6" Chinese Snowball: Viburnum macrocephalum, aka the Chinese snowball or old-fashioned snowball, is a deciduous, semi-evergreen shrub named for its large, showy puffy-looking white blossoms. It's a show-off plant that performs best in the warmer USDA growing zones. This beauty needs either full or partial sun to bloom in the late spring, usually in May or June.
