The Siberian Peashrub, 'Caragana arborescens', is
large rounded shrub that is well adapted to exposed,
cold, dry and other difficult sites. It has showy
yellow pea like flowers that appear in late May.The
bark of the trunk and stems retain a greenish color
for several years. The small leaflets are medium
green in color. Often used as a windbreak or tall
informal hedge.
The Peashrubs are cold and drought tolerant. When
planting for hedge, place plants about 4-5feet
apart. Siberian Peasshrubs are deciduous and have
low water requirements, and a moderate salt & alkali
tolerance.
