Q: If I prune an American holly bush down to the trunk will it grow
back? Some of the plants you see in yards here all the time are actually
native plants: Rhododendron, Azalea, Black-eyed Susan, American Holly,
Redbud, Flowering Dogwood, Daylilies, Irises, Oak-leaf Hydrangea,
Heuchera, Strawberries, Southern Magnolia, Creeping Phlox, and Tall
Summer Phlox. The
guidelines require the plans to include an observation deck at the south
east corner of the site and that plantings be done with native and
selected naturalized species including black willow, cottonwood, pitch
pine, American holly and sweet pepperbush. |
