landscaping shrubs, I want to plant shrubs in large barrel containers, can I please read below ?
I have purchased some “privacy” bushes and I want to put them in like wiskey barrels , kind of like raised flower beds so they will quickly grow taller than my 5 ft. city ordinance fence, will these shrubs/bushes grow in a wiskey barrel for a few years or ?? I know with many flower perenials they have a very deep tap root and this won’t work but I know not much about bushes and shrubs but these new neighbors are helping me learn fast, here is what I bought on sale in 1 gallon : waxleaf privet, Oregon grape, butterfly bush, …I tried to stick with evergreen I’m zone 7 in Or and our winters rarely get below 25, but once in a while. Teach my about bushes and shrubs the basics OK ?
The barrel is not good for them, they wouldnt last to long in them. They will get root bound and they will not have enough moisture around them. There are privacy bushes that grow over 5′ all on their own. Sounds like you need an evergreen. They have growth on them all year long. Get a American Arborvitae(pronounce, Aborative) , they can very tall, there are other variety of Arborvitae that grow to different heights. Any Christmas type tree is good too, like Blue Spruce, Fir, Cedar,Hemlock, and Pine, but pine’s can be dirty. Some butterfly bushes are not evergreen. The Oregon grape is perfect. Ask lots of questions when you go to the store/ nusery, they can be a big help. Oh and you are picking a good time to plant too. Good luck
