Linebacker Distylium: A Wonderful Screen Shrub

Linebacker Distylium

I love Distyliums as they are such a versatile, low-maintenance and attractive shrub.

I have planted and/or pruned all the most common Distyliums; yet, I only recently became familiar with this one, the Linebacker.

Many property owners find the need for a screen between themselves and neighbors, traffic, a commercial property, an eyesore or simply for some privacy.

The linebacker offers the solution with little mess and maintenance.

And, he is a tough one - no known pest or disease issues and virtually drought tolerant once established.

This a wonderful alternative to Cherry Laurel, Arborvitae, and definitely Red Tips and Leyland Cypress, among many other troublesome screening plants.

Its new foliage transitions from red to deep green while it also produces tiny red flowers during late winter or early spring.

If you need a little defense from your adjacent surroundings, the Linebacker may be your perfect player in the right position.

Yes, we can design a layout and install these for you. So please call me, Doug, at 803-553-5757, if need be.
