Shrubs and trees give a garden its structure — the year-round framework of height, shade, and screening that everything else is planted around. As long-lived woody plants, they are an investment in the landscape's future, offering seasonal flowers, foliage, berries, and bark that mature and improve over decades. Choosing the right size and form for the space at planting time is the single most important decision, because these are the plants you will live with the longest.
