Q: I am clearing invasive Honeysuckle in the area I plan on native planting. If I don't get all the Honeysuckle will that compete? Or maybe wait a season after clearing the Honeysuckle?

Asked by: THERESA PRESTON - 5/7/2020

A: It depends on your method of clearing the honeysuckle. If using foliar herbicides, you should wait. If your cutting and carefully spraying the stumps, you should be fine to plant witch hazel now (depending on the term 'carefully spraying'). If you're not using herbicides at all, you can plant witch hazel now and prepare to continue to battle honeysuckle into the future. Prepare for the continuous battle whether using herbicides or not.

Q: How fast does this shrub grow and how close to plant - as we want to hide propane tank

Asked by: Ev - 8/9/2020

A: It has a medium growth rate and will take several years to reach full size. You could either give it plenty of room away from the tank (10 feet or so) or plant it closer and prune it as needed.
