Use the current <a href="https://www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecoregions-north-america">EPA ecoregion map</a> to identify the unit for your place, then compare that code with the <a href="https://extension.psu.edu/keystone-shrubs-of-pennsylvania">Penn State table</a>.</p> <p>These are wildlife-priority selections, not a complete list of native shrubs, a county occurrence map, or a guarantee that a plant fits a particular yard.
