The understory is overwhelmed by privet, burning bush, Japanese holly and Asian bush honeysuckle, and the edges by bamboo groves and Callery pear.

That’s why it is do important to keep invasive plants away, especially bush honeysuckle.

Three of my favorite foliage plants are bush honeysuckle, scented geranium and raspberry greens.

Problem trees and shrubs include ailanthus, callery or Bradford pear, autumn olive, bush honeysuckles, winged burning bush and Japanese barberry.

Instead of oak and hickory, it might be lesser trees or invasive species such as bush honeysuckle.
