Orchard Hills’ zone is filled with prickly pear cacti, Japanese honeysuckle and Formosa firethorn.

I see lesser celandine choking the wildflowers, and winged euonymus and Japanese honeysuckle crowding out native spicebush.

Some of the historically important perfumed vines such as Asian wisterias, Japanese honeysuckle and sweet autumn clematis have fallen from grace because of their invasive qualities.

Meanwhile, invasive plant species such as Japanese honeysuckle are choking out local forests, Quadro said.

Invasive species like English ivy, Japanese honeysuckle, Norway maples and sycamore maples will be replaced with black oak, dogwood, spicebush and native ferns.
