A Shrub Tree is a Popular Alternative For Those Who Want the Benefits of a Shrub With the Height of a Tree

Many of the most popular styles of shrub grow in both shrub tree and shrub bush forms so anyone who likes the beauty and versatility of a shrub can enjoy their plant in nearly any setting. The benefits from a shrub bush are that the bush does not take up a huge amount of space and it can be easily clipped and pruned to anyone’s tastes. As for the tree, you get the prettiness of a flowing plant with a height that is usually over ten meters tall and is supported by one single trunk. It should be noted, however, that not all shrubs which are available as a bush are also available as a shrub. This is particularly sad for many varieties of the rose, most of which can only be seen as a bush. However, there are lots of other varieties of shrub which can be found as a tree, including a very few varieties of hybrid roses and nearly every type of azalea, lilac and boxwood.

One of the most popular types of plant which is available as a shrub tree is the azalea shrub. This shrub is known worldwide as a beautiful flowering rhododendron which comes in nearly ten thousand different varieties. You can obtain an azalea shrub tree in nearly any color in the spectrum and when the plant flowers, your yard will be filled with a huge mass of whatever color you have chosen, as flowers bloom from nearly every shoot on the plant’s mass. If you are looking for a shrub tree that still flowers but is much more subdued, you should consider the lilac shrub tree. It only comes in three different colors, including white, pink and purple but it still makes a beautiful statement to accent your landscaping work.

Perhaps you are a person who already has a full garden of flowers and now needs something to accent the brilliant pinks, reds and yellows. There is no better shrub to do this with than the European boxwood. Used for centuries as the foundation to a formal garden, a boxwood shrub tree can be grown to its proper size and then sculpted to nearly any shape you can imagine to give your garden a real touch of class.

Compleat Gardener: A little pruning, then sit back and watch the show (The Daily News)

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:08:38 GMT

The second week in August is time for cutting back in order to enjoy the fall garden shows ahead. Prune off the faded roses and water your rose plants well but resist the urge to fertilize. Go ahead and strip off the yellow and black spotted leaves of disease-infested roses now so they won’t spread their spores all over the garden. Don’t worry if this leaves your rose plants naked and leafless. ...
