I cleared out a bunch of invasive eurasian honeysuckle 4-5 years ago.
There were occasional clumps of native mock orange, which I preserved.
But they were really leggy due to the competitian with the honeysuckles.
So once I cleared out the honeysuckle, I cut the mockoranges back severely.
They're doing fine now. Here's a post of one of them from last May.
I don't know what species this is - it's native to our area. I think it's beautiful.
