Shrubs

Shrubs and Small Trees (1985) by David Stuart

The author has some very interesting recommendations.

Butcher's Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) evergreen shrub good for dry shade

Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium) shrub makes excellent large scale ground cover for sun/shade dry/moist

Eating Quince (Cydonia oblonga) small garden tree

Medlar (Mespilus germanica) small garden tree

Golden Indian Bean Tree (Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea') tree or shrub

Willow Leafed Pear (Pyrus salicifolia 'Pendula) best of the small weeping trees

Chinese Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus henryana) vigorous climber

Russian Vine (Polygonum baldshuanicum) rampant climber
