Tree Audio Recording Available Parrotia persica [Persian Parrotia] One of the best trees for foliage and bark effect. Very adaptable, tolerating drought, various soils, heat, cold, etc. Prefers full sun but tolerates light shade. Sites with strong winter winds will surely cause tip dieback in Northern Indiana.

Shrub Audio Recording AvailablePurdue Plant Doctor Available Philadelphus coronarius [Sweet Mockorange] Well adapted to different light (even shade) and soil conditions, especially to dry situations. Relatively trouble-free, and one of the most fragrant of the mockoranges. None of the mockoranges have much landscape interest after the season of bloom. Becomes leggy if not pruned. Pruning should be done after flowering (flower buds form on previous years wood), and to maintain fullness of form. Audio Recording AvailablePurdue Plant Doctor Available
