Nothing other than what I just read after seeing your post.

I struck out on your moms plants. Waited and even asked a bunch of other growers last weekend at the festival. No luck, sorry.

Take a look at the Vitex...it grows quickly...you can form it to a tree or bush depending on the way you trim it...puts out a purple elongated flower and blooms all spring and summer...I put one in at 20" and in 3 years its 12' tall and gorgeous...you probably have some in your area you can take a look at...

So we went to a nursery and we liked the Indian hawthorne I can't remember the species. I guess we moved to shrubs lol. Are there any others that you would suggest?

Indian Hawthorne are very good shrubs, very hearty and don't require a lot of spraying etc

Also look into witch hazel ( lorapetllums)
Pineapple and strawberry guava
Knockout roses
Gardenia
Camellias (for winter color)
