Decorative Shirube 
Following are a large number of beautiful shrubs which are suited to growing in this section. Some 
are admired for their flower, fruit or foliage, others for their interesting form and texture. We constantly 
strive to offer a complete list of all worthwhile shrubs that will thrive in this cold northern area. If a 
shrub in which you may be interested is not offered here, we suggest you obtain more information about 
it before purchasing. Perhaps it will not survive our winters. 
For convenience, shrubs are listed in three categories: dwarf, medium and tall growing. 
The height shown following the name denotes approximate size at full growth. 
By trimming, these shrubs can be kept smaller than the listed height.
