Available literature lists adaptable plant
materials on a broad basis.
Peculiarities of
Central cregon climate are not accounted For
in broad climate zone reconnendaticns.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a
more locaized ijStlfl9 for use by Central
Oregon residents.
It is hoped that this iistinr will be of
aid to Central Oregonians as thcy consider
shrub selections.
This list does not claim
to be all inclusive
Because of early fall
and late spring frost, eroweps attemptinq to
grow those shrubs of a marginal nature are
encouraged to use what protection is available.
Structures such as. bulidinqs, fences
and windbreaks could be utilized to offer
protection from severe, cold, dry winter
winds.

Revised, l?75
In this second edition of this paper, additional
species of junipers and pines have been included.
Also, brief sections on rhododendrons and azeleas
have been included.
It should he remembered that
Central Oregon climatic conditions make culture
of rhododendron and azeleas undepedahle. Note
with care special precautions necessary. Poses
are omitted in this paper, hut included in a
special paper available at the Doschutes County
Extension Office, 922 W. Highland, P0 Box 756,
Redmond, Oregon; phone 54g-3152 or 5483l53.
This paper was prepared by Marvin M, Young,
Deschutes County Extension Agent, Oregon State
University, in cooperation with garden clubs
from Redmond, Culver, Madras, Prineville, Powell
Butte and Benci, as well as two local professional
nurserymen.
A prena red list of shrubs was com
piled from existing literature and reviewed by
the above groups.
