Sharon, there are a lot of nice dwarf shrubs out there these days, good options for small plots. I've been curious about the dwarf Forsythias I've seen on the market. There's a new pink Hydrangea out that is the hardy 'Annabell' type, I want one of those really bad! Those seem more like managing a perennial to me for some reason.
Terese, I'm so glad Serviceberries are being marketed for landscape use. In spring they're the first wild trees to bloom around here, joined soon after by the Redbuds- and how glorious they are in bloom together! Around here folks call them "Sarvice trees" LOL. I heard the name came from way back when, and people used the blooming branches to decorate church altars for Easter services,...or "sarvices" if you're from Kentucky, LOL.
