Shrubs for City Yards

Here's a list of Shrubs suitable for City yards.

As when you were deciding on which trees to plant in your yard, the same considerations should be made when deciding shrubs.

•  the various branching forms (arching - caragana; straight - dogwood; airy, open - lilac; dense - evergreen.)
• different shapes such as upright, vase, round, oval, pyramidal, columnar.
• characteristic colored bark (copper, white, reddish, or yellow) and varying textures (rough, peeling or smooth bark surfaces). Even evergreens have different colored ‘leaves’ ('Blue Globe' versus 'Gold Coast' junipers).
