I've been waiting for this shrub to pop some color and I'm not even sure it will. Can you please help me identify it?

Comments (6)Considering what we would be looking at if we removed them... Id rather have them. Atleast for now. I wouldn't want to remove them untill I could replace them with something else. Our yard is fairly large and we basically had to start from scratch. Eventually all the natural areas will be cleared(except the trees) and replanted but it will take lots of time and money. Im focused on other areas right now....See MorePlease help me identify this Deciduous Shrub
Comments (2)Yes, they are very fragrant right now! I have a smaller sized yard -so I liked how this shrub holds tight to the fence (and grows much higher), gets green early, and has a nice bloom. If it is a Lilac, I guess it would not have a very long bloom period. Still seems to be a great shrub from what I can tell! Thank you for your help!!

Comments (5)extra cold this winter .. and the sun heating the blacktop during the day.. and extra cold at night .... probably made it go in and out of dormancy .. which caused the winter damage ... no matter what it is... i will ask.. is it.. in a spot.. in the front of the house.. where you want a 2 or 3 year renovation job ... if not.. get rid of it... if you.. or more particularly.. momma.. doesnt care.. lol ... then give it a few more weeks.. and cut out all the dead stuff .. [and if you are momma.. dad probably hasnt even noticed yet.. lol] and then decide you dont like it.. lol .. and then dig it out.. if this were in my back 3 acres.. i would enjoy watching how it rejuvenated itself.. out front... shovel prune... and then.. since the hole is already dug.. throw in something else.. something better ... ken...See MoreHelp Identifying Shrub
Comments (8)Finally the magic words, "it is my opinion". Perhaps, Logan-Caldwell you have not been lucky enough to see a thousand year old Taxus baccata tree in an ancient churchyard, a wild red-barked Yew grove glowing in the evening sun on a green hillside or a 200 year old topiary garden? Until you have perhaps you should ensure that you always state that your hatred of yew is an opinion, not a fact. I dislike Norway spruce since they remind me of threadbare Christmas trees dropping needles all over the carpet and I would take Yew over them any day but I don't go round telling other people that spruces are horrible trees as if it were a universal truth....See More
