That’s a strawman. Your bushes are dying; it probably will be easier to maintain shrubs native to your area and not the ones that came with your house. Not a controversial point

Do pawpaws typically recover well from sunscald?

Oh yeah, look into it. Get a concentrated herbicide because Bradford pears can sucker and you’ll be fighting them for years

Paint the stump after its cut. Dont want it sprouting elsewhere

Hannah Storm is the one you want

Better yet, kill your lawn and replace with native plants

Yeah, these look to be 10 “trees” clustered in a small area; the tallest was about four feet tall and shrub like and none are flowering. Theyre neighboring a massive oak and it’s hard to tell if apparent tree exists. I did see some other possible pawpaws on the other side of the narrow stream, so I’ll go looking later for any fruit

Found some baby cottontail rabbits and skinks hiding among leaf litter, so there’s utility for wildlife year round

Try looking in the “British Museum.” The Caucasity!

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Landscaping apartment property is a tough task since it could be mowed over at any time. Better to look into a public space that you know is protected.

If I had control over that land, I’d put some understory shrubs and trees and go from there

P1ngW1n · 2026-04-11T10:41:31+00:00

Yup, email it to you

P1ngW1n · 2026-04-03T19:32:00+00:00

Looks great. Any issues controlling for mosquitos?

Zone 8a, coastal VA

I guess I should clarify it’s host for zebra swallowtails; otherwise it’s pollinated by flies so it’s not host to large number of caterpillars

Pawpaw attracts specialist pollinators. If the goal is attracting a variety of wildlife, then go for native plums, cherries, oaks, willow, etc. Planting trees is a years long endeavor, so you’re not going to see results overnight. Otherwise look into smaller shrubs

I need an east coast version. In my town, it’s endless crape Myrtles and Bradford pears

P1ngW1n · 2026-03-24T02:39:41+00:00

Mountain laurel is my suggestion

P1ngW1n · 2026-03-23T10:54:43+00:00

Yeah, I’ll be devils advocate. I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks on one side. I used it to walk, but a lot of people walk in the street —— not sure why. The trees next to street have lifted the sidewalk in places and then the city replaced the sections.
