Shrub Taxus × media 'Wortfieldii' [Wortfield Anglojap Yew] Withstands nearly any amount of pruning. Black vine weevil can be a problem, but this is rare. Newly planted yews do not perform well in poorly drained soils. Perhaps overused in the urban landscape. Can be severely damaged by deer. Dioecious.
Shrub Tsuga canadensis 'Jervis' [Dwarf Canadian Hemlock] 'Jervis' is a dense, compact, dwarf cultivar with an irregularly pyramidal form. Foliage browns in dry soil, drying wind, and winter sun in very exposed sites. Does not tolerate long periods of drought. Can be scorched by full sun and temperatures above 95 degrees F. Many minor pest problems, with wooly aldelgids being especially serious in the Northeast US.
Shrub Indiana Native Vaccinium angustifolium [Lowbush Blueberry] The Lowbush Blueberry requires acidic soils with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Iron chlorosis can be a problem in higher pH soils. Mulch around roots to maintain high organic matter. For higher blossom and berry output, grow in full sun. Berries are sweet and edible.
Shrub Indiana Native Viburnum acerifolium [Mapleleaf Viburnum] The Mapleleafe Viburnum is a shade and drought tolerant plant that is excellent for naturalizing. Tolerant to the poison excreted by Black Walnuts.
Shrub Viburnum bracteatum [sold as All That Glows™] [All That Glows Bracted Viburnum] The Bracted Viburnum is very similar to the Arrowwood Viburnum (V. dentatum), except it generally has glossier, more leathery foliage. All That Glows is a dense, compact dwarf variant of the species with exceptionally glossy leaves and heavy fruit set.
Shrub Viburnum burejaeticum [Manchurian Viburnum] The Manchurian Viburnum is an uncommon species similar to Viburnum lantana (Wayfaringtree). A very adaptable shrub with good flower production, fruit set, and fall color. Grows remarkably fast in the spring.
Shrub Viburnum × burkwoodii [Burkwood Viburnum] Trouble-free plant tolerant of soils and pollution (except sulfur). Also, does not tolerate more severe drought. Very fragrant when in bloom, although to a lesser degree than Viburnum carlesii (Koreanspice Viburnum). Bacterial spot and powdery mildew susceptibility (but not always a problem). Sulfur containing pesticides burn or defoliate leaves. Too thin to be a solid screen.
Shrub Viburnum × burkwoodii 'Chenaultii' [Chenault Burkwood Viburnum] 'Chenaultii' has a finer-textured, more delicate appearance than the species type due to its smaller leaves and thinner branches. Trouble-free plant tolerant of soils and pollution (except sulfur). Also, does not tolerate more severe drought. Very fragrant when in bloom, although to a lesser degree than Viburnum carlesii (Koreanspice Viburnum). Bacterial spot and powdery mildew susceptibility (but not always a problem). Sulfur containing pesticides burn or defoliate leaves. Too thin to be a solid screen.
Shrub Viburnum × carlcephalum [Carlcephalum Viburnum] This viburnum is an open, rounded shrub known for its snowball-like clusters of fragrant, white flowers in May.
Shrub Viburnum × carlcephalum 'Cayuga' [Cayuga Viburnum] Cayuga Viburnum is a backcross between V. x carlcephualum and V. carlesii, known for its fragrant flowers and upright to slightly spreading habit. Pink buds open to clusters of white fragrant flowers in May. Leaves change from a dark green to a vibrant orange-red in the fall. Bacterial leaf spot can be a problem in some settings. Prune immediately after flowering for best flower show the next year.
