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

Wisteria Wisteria: A deciduous flowering tree with a distinctly floral aroma, wisteria plants can grow as high as ten to twenty feet with sturdy support. Wisteria sinensis is an Asian native species, frequently found growing naturally in the woods and natural areas throughout the United States. You can plant wisteria in either full sunshine or partially sunny conditions, with organics like hardwood mulch, peat moss, or shredded leaves added to loose soil. This vine is rugged: drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant. Care is minimal, including trimming to guide the growth or to remove frost damage. Although some people describe wisteria flowers as purple, TN Nursery explains to customers that they are usually closer to blue with a slight tinge of purple. Where to Plant Wisteria Plants Wisteria is a prolific bloomer in the last weeks of spring. It might take two seasons or so for you to see them on full display, but these abundant, lush flowers are well worth the wait! Wisteria will grow to form clusters or thickets, creating dense foliage after blossoming. Here are three ways you can use this hardy plant: Create a privacy hedge: If you have close neighbors, install a tall support structure and plant wisteria to protect your privacy. Barrier hedge: Do you have pedestrians use your yard as a cut-through? Wisteria will grow into a thick barrier hedge. Cover an old, unsightly building: A wisteria plant can quickly cover an unattractive barn or shed--make it a charming, rustic focal point instead of a tear-down project. Wisteria prefers full sun or partial sunshine; it will tolerate shade, although you will not get profuse blossoms. The Graceful and Elegant Look of Wisteria The brown stem of wisteria will form into lovely, twisted shapes as they wanter into a vine. You can "train" it to grow straighter with some time and patience. Wisteria leaves are green and elliptical, growing in an alternative pattern. They are compound and grow in clusters of about seven to fifteen leaflets. Leaves are approximately six inches long. The flowers of the wisteria will stop you in their tracks with beauty. Tiny pea-shaped blue-violet flowers emerge in enormous, gracefully drooping clusters. They appear almost like delicate bunches of grapes. The scent is heavenly!

Elderberry shrub is a hardy tree that flourishes across almost all contiguous 48 states. TN Nursery recommends this shrub to customers who want a species that is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, heat-tolerant, and agreeable. Elderberry produces edible fruits that some people harvest for personal use. However, many other gardeners leave the plump berries for the birds and wildlife to enjoy.  Besides "elderberry," the following are a few other common names that refer to this species:  American elder American elderberry Common elderberry Elder tree  The Elderberry Shrub Is Super Easy to Grow  This species grows in nature with no human intervention. You see them along ditch banks, on the south- or west-facing edges of woods, along light or utility lines, or in open fields. These spots represent their preference for full sunshine or a partially sunny location. When you plant your elderberry shrub, find a spot with the appropriate sunlight and recreate the woody material the species enjoys in the woods. Add a good handful of hardwood mulch, peat moss, compost, or leaf litter--it craves these woody materials. A young elderberry tree requires about one inch of water each week.  After strengthening and growing a little bit, your elderberry tree will become relatively carefree. It will demand nothing of you except water during an extended drought.  The Rustic Good Looks of the Elderberry Shrub  Elderberry shrubs are shrub-like and rounded in shape. They grow as high as twelve feet tall and might grow as wide.  Opposing, bright green compound leaves grow in clusters of seven to eleven leaflets. They are oval-shaped with a narrow tip, light to bright green, and up to six inches long. They have sharply serrated edges. In autumn, the leaves usually turn bright yellow to deep amber. They blossom profusely in late spring or early summer--many quarter-inch cream-colored flowers that occur in clusters produce fat, round, purple to black berries.  Order Your Elderberry Shrub From TN Nursery  If you want an easy-care plant that provides abundant berries for yourself or your feathered friends, TN Nursery suggests the elderberry shrub--order yours today.

This stunning ornamental deciduous tree blooms early, brightening the warm spring weather in the moderately warm USDA growing zones. TN Nursery staff suggest this tree for anyone who wants a tree with abundant early-season flowers. The white Princess dogwood tree grows to a mature height between twenty and thirty feet. That relatively small height makes it perfect for even a smaller yard. Many gardeners love the white dogwood flower for its classic, pristine white early-season show. Furthermore, they know this species is cold-tolerant to the winter chill and drought-tolerant once it takes root. How to Use the White Princess Dogwood Trees in Your Landscape The white dogwood tree is an early bloomer and craves the full sunshine on those earliest spring days. The most important key to successfully growing this species is a full-sun location. Plant the white dogwood tree as: A focal point in your rock garden or natural area To provide shade in a smaller yard An understory tree--just make sure it receives enough sunshine. When planting your white dogwood tree, ensure the soil is woody and fast-draining. It loves compost, shredded leaves, or hardwood mulch. It also needs approximately an inch of water each week in the early stages of growth. Once the roots establish and your sapling becomes stronger, you will only need to do routine maintenance. It needs fertilizer twice yearly (spring and fall), mulch to protect the roots in the winter, and occasional pruning to shape it up. The Striking Beauty of the White Dogwood Tree The white dogwood tree has a central trunk from which multiple sturdy branches emerge. They form an elegant shape.

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.

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.
