> Hi friends,
>
> I have 2 strapping Red Osier Dogwood shrubs available to the first  
> comer.
> I originally bought them from the Plantsmen a few years ago.
>
> These shrubs get to about 10' across and 12' high, which is why I  
> had to
> remove them - they were blocking the line of sight for pulling out  
> of our
> driveway.
>
> They are very hardy, and in winter the stems turn red, and look  
> really cool
> against the snow.  If there's snow...  They also make little berries  
> that
> birds eat.  They could also probably be divided up and made into a  
> hedgerow.
>
> Anyway, I pruned them back to about 6' tall and 6' accross, and dug  
> them
> up.  If you want them, email me and we'll plan a time for you to  
> pick them
> up.  You'll need a pickup truck to haul them in.  Right now I dug up  
> the
> roots, then covered the base with mulch again, so they can just be  
> lifted
> out of the ground by me and one other able bodied person.
>
> Get 'em while they're dormant!
>
> If I don't hear anything in a couple days, I'll put them on  
> Freecycle....
