Refers to the leaves wrapping around the stems some. That’s my understanding.

Pretty sure it’s this but I’m doing a very large yard rewilding project right now and I can’t remember specifically what was in all of my seed mixes.

North America 😂

Good call, been doing that. Changes the concept of a good yard drastically once you start seeing it from that perspective.

Hell yeah, I love all that. You get it. Bit by bit we can make things better. I’m doing a total overhaul of our yard probably 75% now for the animals. Big new thing for me is selecting plants based off host/supported species and wildlife value. It all does make a difference.

Apparently one of the major culprits is ragweed and goldenrod gets the rap for it. Undoubtedly though goldenrod is a contributor though. Trees get me a lot worse in either case 🫠

Extremely s-tier, amazingly easy to maintain. They spread by rhizomes so if you plant a few in an area and a couple of years the whole thing will be full of strikingly tall plants. They’re very resistant to all kinds of bullshit. They can be a really cool anchor plant for native garden sections adding a lot of height to boundaries or borders. They’re pretty showy and have lots of nice yellow flowers. Lots of insects like them. Some birds will eat the seeds when the season is over. Reseeds extremely easily. Could probably use for soil retention. Many different kinds so you can find something that fits your need. Lots of reasons to like this plant.

Altissima more than likely but who knows.

Maybe tall, who knows!

Man I fuck with it big time! Showing up, making things better, and then leaving? Fantastic. World would be a better place with more people doing what you do.

Thank you friend, North Carolina.

Love all the non-nandina stuff!
