    What shrubs do you think I should consider adding here? Here's the criteria: hardy to zone 5, deer resistant (at least mostly), nothing that requires special fertilizing or pruning treatment (i.e. no hydrangeas or roses), something fairly compact as well as something that is more moderately sized, and nothing too flashy. Multi-season interest a requirement.

      Proud Berry Coralberry Symphoricarpos sp. is beautiful. Cut it back early spring if needed and it grows like crazy. Beautiful pink berries in fall, bluish colored leaves. It will get huge if you don’t cut it back but that’s just more beauty to look at.

    • @aliciab.3262
      @aliciab.3262 Год назад +2

      Looking wonderful. Deer Resistant and zone 5 = Deutzia, Spirea, Forsythia (Show off, 36") , Viburnum (a few varieties that will work), Lilac . Each of these have a few variations in sizes in variety. Some better than others. I know you will pick something wonderful. From one flip flop wearing gardener to another. I am in Indiana 6B.

      What about red twig or attic fire dogwood? It would add more winter interest and some lower screening in the winter.

    Itea “Little Henry” is a beautiful 4’ x 4’ shrub for your border if it works in your area. The plantings you have are gorgeous. Can’t wait to see this all fill in.

  • @ildikomehes6658

    I am obsessed with Fothergilla and think shorter or medium varieties would look amazing. Really beautiful job so far!

    • @lisastone2537

      @mdwalker3034 Год назад +2

      I have Mt Airy Fothergilla, zone 7/MD. My deer nibble the leaf & flower buds in February/March here. If you spray during that time (or perhaps later for you in WI), they will flower & put out flush new leaf growth. The deer leave mine totally alone, once the leaves are out.

  • @HowsItGrowing

    That looks so great, and it’s not even completed yet. Ninebarks and Viburnums are two of my favorite shrubs. I just love the berries in Autumn on the Viburnums for the birds. Whatever you choose Erin, I’m sure it will be just perfect. It looks fantastic already.

  • @kathleenreynolds6492
    @kathleenreynolds6492 Год назад +27

    I immediately thought of cotoneaster. It’s a non-flashy, non-demanding, nice looking workhorse in my yard. Sweetly pretty in early summer with some flowers which turn into small red berries. Very drought tolerant, shape stays nice without pruning, 4-ish tall and wide here in high altitude (yes, that makes a difference). I checked and it’s “not favored by deer”. I have had it turn up voluntarily in several other areas of my yard. Two I’m very grateful for, the third wasn’t hard to remove.

    • @b.a.d.2086

  • @sydneykasmar
    @sydneykasmar Год назад +20

    This project is incredible. I watched the video when you walkled us through this idea and seeing all the trees in place I thinks it's perfect. So nice that you are using native trees. It will allow the space to look that much more natural rather than a display.

  • @chaley5588
    @chaley5588 Год назад +27

    Amber Jubilee Ninebark is a fantastic shrub. It gets 5-6' tall, which may be a little taller than will work in your area. It is a shrub that doesn't scream look at me, but when you do take notice of it it is beautiful. I love watching their colors change from spring, summer and fall and the small cluster of reddish berries are perfect in the winter. Your project looks absolutely stunning! All the new tree plantings already look like they were always supposed to naturally be there. I'm so excited for you!

    • @Bj90216
      @Bj90216 Год назад +3

      I have 2 varieties of these. They are pretty but definitely not deer resistant.

    • @samanthascott712
      @samanthascott712 Год назад +1

      I have 3 and then another one of those used to screen the ground of my neighbors side yard which they leave bare. The deer haven’t eaten them that I can tell, but I have other things they like better. I love the orange color in spring

    Love how disciplined you were with this project!! It's going to be absolutely beautiful! As for the wooly adelgid I have a feeling it maybe too cold for it where you are located. I spoke to an arborist and she said they don't like the real cold winters. Great job!

    Buttonbush (cephalanthus) Sugar Shack. A rugged native that pollinators love. Interesting flowers and then berries.

  • @mikewharton5001
    @mikewharton5001 Год назад +19

    I love Philadelphus/Mockorange. It will be covered with the white flowers in early summer and then blend back into the background. You could always do one of the white variegated cultivars though. One of my all time favorites.

    • @ginnysulya9805
      @ginnysulya9805 Год назад +1

  • @greenthumbelina7331
    @greenthumbelina7331 Год назад +7

    Erin, for shrubs in the 4' range, possibly plant several Mockorange shrubs, such as the Illuminati Sparks, Illuminati Arch, or Illuminati Towers. Any of these would add a lovely scent and since you already have white flowers in that area, it wouldn't distract the eye. They are all hardy in Zones 4-7, I think. I hope you and Mr. Much More Patient have a great weekend. ~Margie🤗

  • @annelarson160
    @annelarson160 Год назад

    Beautiful screen, very thoughtfully designed with tough as nails plants. I always remind people (nursery person here) that they put trees in containers so they won't fall out, not that for tree growth purposes. Always locate the flare if before digging if you can. What a huge project--no wonder you were tired as hell!

  • @rajawy
    @rajawy Год назад +14

    Consider buttonbush for your empty spot. There is a dwarf version of 'Legend of the Fall' Fothergilla called 'Legend of the Small' which might satisfy the front of the bed. As a bonus, in fall those shrubs have spectacular color, which will echo some of the beautiful color you'll be getting from the Firespire Hornbeam trees. The whole project looks beautiful. Love your channel!

  • @Talula72
    @Talula72 Год назад +1

    How exciting! It looks amazing. For a shorter shrub how about the small sized forthsythia from Proven Winners.

    • @mdwalker3034
      @mdwalker3034 6 месяцев назад +1

      Show Off Sugar Baby forsythia is a beauty! Mine are four-5 years old. 3’x2.5’ vase-like shape. Flowers on the entire stem for about 3 weeks in MD/zone 7. Nice green all summer. My deer herd of 20+ don’t touch it.
      Pinned down some low branches. Routed easily. Now I have 5 more potted up. Will plant the babies elsewhere this fall.

  • @beckydunlavey5623

    We love our Standing Ovation Serviceberry. It's tall and narrow (4' x 15') and do great in zone 5 with minimal care.

  • @carolynclark8780
    @carolynclark8780 Год назад +1

    My second suggestion is another West Coast native, Mahonia nervosa (low Oregon grape). It's hardy to zone 5, stays about 2' tall, and is evergreen. It has sparse yellow flowers for a short time in spring, which I don't find very noticeable. It gets dusty blue berries in the fall, which the birds love. The foliage can take on a maroon tinge during cold winters. It thrives on zero care, does well in full sun to deep shade, and survives our summer drought season (in Seattle) with no watering but also does well in moist conditions. I think it's relatively unpalatable to deer but we don't deal with that here in the city, so check your sources to be sure. Its only downside are its sharply pointed leaves, but in an area where no one will be brushing against them, it's only an issue for weeding. I always wear gloves.

    • @TheImpatientGardener

    No improvement needed on your great choices. Other suggestions might be Abelia, Deutzia, and Fothergilla. I just added a Sage leaf Willow and that might fit well also.The foliage is blue and narrow and gets a sort of catkin that opens burgandy

  • @taranorton6769
    @taranorton6769 Год назад +2

    I love your tree choices! How about Hamamelis virginiana? It might be too open, but on the other hand, you've got layers going on. Aronia will sucker, but maybe you want some of that? There's also Lindera benzoin, which is nice and wide, and has the bonus of red berries for the birds (and is a host plant for swallowtails!).

  • @laurieanne9712
    @laurieanne9712 Год назад +1

    O my! Absolutely LOVE this!! What a change for the better ! And don't you love it when you can recycle and have the gorgeous chips from the old trees? What about PW's Bloomerang Lilac? Not showy, really. It stays 4-6' tall and wide, hardy to zone 3. I have it, takes some shade and would give you just a little color in the spring with sporadic reblooming "sproinks" that I love. And it's that smell, just that smell I need in the spring......

    Looking wonderful. Deer Resistant and zone 5 = Deutzia, Spirea, Forsythia (Show off, 36") , Viburnum (a few varieties that will work), Lilac . Each of these have a few variations in sizes in variety. Some better than others. I know you will pick something wonderful. From one flip flop wearing gardener to another. I am in Indiana 6B.

    What about Leucothoe 'Rainbow’? Unusual evergreen but shouldn’t draw too much attention, has some movement and it’s deer-resistant
