Description
Additional information

Persistent fruit clusters give Skunkbush wildlife value and a rugged western character. Skunkbush is an easy plant to build a design around, especially where a spreading framework is useful. With Skunkbush, thin the colony by taking entire stems at the base rather than shearing the tops. Compare Skunkbush with other shrubs at The Greenhouse Nursery in Logan, UT.
