Caragana arborescens Siberian Pea Shrub Live Cuttings - Set of 5 Alaska Grown Nitrogen Fixing Shrub
Grow one of the toughest and most versatile cold-climate shrubs with these Siberian Pea Shrub (Caragana arborescens) cuttings. Widely planted throughout Alaska and other northern regions, this hardy shrub thrives in challenging conditions while providing privacy, wind protection, wildlife habitat, and soil improvement.
As a nitrogen-fixing species, Siberian Pea Shrub enriches soil naturally and requires minimal maintenance once established. It tolerates drought, wind, poor soils, and extreme cold, making it ideal for shelterbelts, living fences, homesteads, and permaculture projects. When planted densely, it forms a thick hedge serving as an effective privacy screen and windbreak.
This listing includes 5 fresh stem cuttings harvested in Alaska during the spring propagation season. Cuttings are shipped during the optimal collection window after new growth begins. Rooting hardwood cuttings requires gardening experience, patience, and attentive aftercare.
