Shrub must be capable of inflicting enough damage to send the dog to the vet. I'm thinking of barberry. Open to suggestions for other shrub options. The planting spot receives sun for about 2/3 of the day, and will be buried in snow for 3 months out of the year. Gorse, common hawthorn, or sloe would do it. Also probably some of the hedge roses, or bois d' arc if you prune it into a shrub form. I'm not sure if honey locust can be grown as a shrub. Best regards, Bob Watch out for gorse, it can become a major pest. It's officially a noxious weed in many places. Barberry and pyracantha are both good. Pick a fireblight-resistant pyracantha. If minor cruelty to animals doesn't disturb you, birds pigging out and getting drunk on pyracantha berries can be amusing. -- Chris Green |
