Does anybody have suggestions for a shrub with the following
requirements? Provided there is such a thing. :-)
Full sun
3-4' max height and width
no pruning
hopefully open from the base up to maybe 10"
only water source will be rain
will be in unamended soil (what is currently growing there is doing
great despite this)
hopefully something common enough to be found at a local nursery
won't grow at a snail's pace
can be deciduous or evergreen
zone 5a
This will be used to make an L shaped hedge at my mother's house. She
currently has Euyonomous (Burning Bush) there, but is tired of the
pruning required. She is unable to do the work herself, doesn't want to
put any more burden on my sister or me, and has had no success with
hiring out the pruning (as in butchering). I can think of boxwood and
spirea. She thought maybe Snowmound spirea or Itea virginica "Henry
Garret', but they may end up bigger than she wants. Any other thoughts?
TIA
