Gray dogwoods r excellent. Pry been my most successful of dogwoods. Followed by silky and then redosier
Like above, I do high bush, ninebark, plum, choke cherry, Hazelnut (really like it!!!), arrowood, etc. I personally would experiement - say u did 1,000 one spring - variety- fill gaps following yr of species that didn't live and buy more of ones u had success with. It'll be apparent after possibly just one season. Maybe 2. More the better so deer or whatevER doesnt ravage things.
