Native trees and shrubs evolved in New England without our help; they adapted to hot, dry summers and cold winters, are resistant to browsing deer and local insects, they attract birds and butterflies, and add color to your landscape. Cultivars of native plants have changed the face of natives--expanding the color palette and options for the gardener.
