HONEYSUCKLE is awesome! But you didn say anything about Jasmine. It smells so good! What are you starting? An exotic sanctuary?

Anybody that plants kudzu needs to be killed in the slowest, most painful and embarrasing manner possible. It is the devil's weed!:burning:

There are at least 5 of those non natives on my property, yet I am not allowed to remove/ replace them because of state and county regs. You can't see some of the trees due to the english ivy and honeysuckle and the multi flora rose bushes are so big that the bases are almost an inch in diameter.

Where do you live that the state/county can tell you what you can or cannot do to brush on your property?

Critical areas in St. Mary's. It has something to do with "disturbing the soil" and increasing runoff potential.

You can still clear brush, just can't cut down any trees, I thought? :confused:

I can clear deadfall trees etc. The site plan states, "Removal of additional trees and shrubs not requested or permitted."

I'm just not taking any chances right now because I did not figure any fines in my budget. :lmao:

If one were to disappear every 2-4 months or so, it could be out of your control.

This may :whistle: happen after 1 year of occupation. They come out after 1 year to check the mortality rate of the required new plantings. I need to have a 60% survival rate after 1 full year.

Kudzu is nicknamed, "the vine that ate the south". :lmao:

I remember this as a kid in KY, and honey suckle:yum: and ofcourse poison sumac. :dead:

The honeysuckle surprises me and every one I know of is listed as invasive, including Amur, Bell's Dwarf, Tartarian and Fragrant. The Bradford pear is odd too, Lowe's sells those by th etruck load in the spring since they grow so well and look so nice..

I have some pretty invasive/overbearing Azaela. I crap you not it is all along the side of my house and into my backyard well into the woods. My house is 40+ years old and I figure someone planted them when the house was new and then as the house changed ownership they were never pruned and spread. I was out yesterday evening stalking immature plants to relocate to the front flower bed; I have about 5-6 varieties.

Talking about the bradford pears, next time you are heading north on 5 by Ed's Plant World, take a look off to the right after Earnshaw Rd., and before the bridge over the creek. You will see a clearing that is being reclaimed by trees. The vast majority of the trees are bradford pears. Based on the location, I would have to guess that they were "planted" as a result of birds eating the berries at Ed's and then depositing the pits over there.
