What are these shrubs?
We noticed some really dense shrubs forming a hedge about 8 feet tall
at Carolina Beach. I believe I have seen them around the triangle. Very curious what they might be. I am sure some of the plant experts on here will know. Photos are he http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84...nt-2-beach.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84...lina-beach.jpg |

What are these shrubs?
Thanks Wes,
I will check those out in the Woodwinds area next time I am over that way. There are also some big thick plants growing in the beltline median north of Walnut Street. Hard to get close enough to those , to tell though.

They may be some kind of viburnum, but there are a lot of different kind of them. *I can't tell for sure, but I think this is what Cary has planted along the Cary Parkway between Old Apex and Woodwinds Court. those look similar, but are kept more pruned and it is difficult to tell. -- Wes Dukes * (wdukes.pobox@com reverse the . and the @ for correct email address) |

These looks like Elaeagnus pungens, an invasive exotic http://www.invasive.org/browse/subject.cfm?sub=4526 There are some great native evergreen screening shrubs that would be much better choices, such as Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria) and Wax Myrtle (Morella/Myrica cerifera). |
