Why Plant Siberian Peashrub?
After the cold winter months, there is almost nothing as soul-brightening as the cheerful blooms that emerge in spring! The Siberian Peashrub is one of the lesser known all stars of such cheerfulness! Bright yellow, fragrant blooms appear in spring against the backdrop of the lime green, fern-like foliage. These fragrant blooms are reminiscent of a snapdragon flower and invites bees and hummingbirds to fly by for a quick snack! By summer, dark seed pods are formed before bursting open with a quick 'POP' - alerting the local songbirds that their tasty treats are ready! This fast growing, large growing shrub offers an upright growth habit that is commonly trained into a small tree form. No matter how you train yours - shrub vs tree - the Siberian Peashrub will shine in your landscape!
Native to Siberia, China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan, the Siberian Peashrub was brought to the United States in the mid-1700’s by Eurasian immigrants and was often utilized as a source of food and medicine.
How to use Siberian Peashrub in the landscape?
Historically, the Siberian Peashrub offered many uses such as food, dye made from the foliage, and fiber made from the bark. Nowadays, it is most often used to help where erosion is an issue due to its extensive root system and makes for a perfect short barrier where needed. Utilize this shrub in flowering hedges, for screen plantings, or as windbreak!

How To Plant Siberian Peashrub
The Siberian Peashrub is as easy as they come! Capable of growing in locations of full sun to part shade, they can thrive in soils that are moist to dry. They are adaptable to different types of soil, such as clay, loam, and sandy locations, while also accepting locations that are high in either acidity or alkalinity. Like we said, easy as they come!
How To Water
After planting, you will want to make sure you are giving your plants enough water to thrive and live a healthy and happy life. We recommend watering your Peashrub a minimum of twice a week until established. We also advise keeping an eye on your local weather, making sure to water accordingly during periods of high heat and drought.
How To Fertilize
At the time of planting, we recommend adding the Bower & Branch Elements Starter Plant Food to the planting site. For ongoing care, you should fertilize each spring as your plant begins to break dormancy!
How To Prune
The Siberian Pea Shrub does best when pruned in late winter or early spring, before the push of new growth. Depending on how you choose to display this plant - shrub vs tree - you'll need to adjust your pruning method. Removing any dead or damaged portions will benefit the health and growth of the shrub, while also maintaining its shape.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
