How To Identify Plants And Trees In Yard

Question From: A. C - Solon, Ohio, United States
Q: I just bought a house with an existing landscape. I know absolutely nothing about what kinds of shrubs, trees etc are growing. It's a beautiful landscape and I desperately want to keep it alive. How can I identify each tree and shrub?

A: Amy, take photos and go to your local independent nursery and get to the buy of trees and shrubs. When taking pictures get close ups of flowers, leaves, bark, and berries. Good Luck and Happy Yardening, Nancy.
