I...Great to see your promotion of native plants. I've three of them in our small yard. I would omit Cornus alternafolia though as they are getting some sort of disease. Eric Burkhart of Shaver's Creek Enviro Center mentioned a few yrs. ago that the one in front of the Center has a fatal disease. I'm sorry I've forgotten the name. Ours is currently fine but I imagine will soon get same disease. Perhaps it's one of the pathogens mentioned in this NC article: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/pp/notes/Ornamental/odin23/od23.htm<br />Thanks again for promoting natives. I particularly like Ilex verticillata because of the bright red berries in winter. Many people stop to comment on them so I have a chance to promote natives.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09840464904045191864noreply@blogger.com
