Native plants <br />provide the choicest shelter and food for wildlife. Contact native plant society in your state or the <br />California Exotic Pest Plant Council for suggestions on western native shrubs, A few examples of <br />shrubs native to much of the eastern U.S. include spicebush (Lindera benzoin), witch hazel <br />(Hamamelis virginiana), pawpaw (Asimina triloba), flowering dogwood (Corpus florida), Bursting- <br />heart or strawberry-bush (Euonymus americanus) and arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum). <br />AUTHOR: <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/elan 1. htm 6/6/2005
