If so, she may have made up the story about the burning bush to keep your yard 100% lower maintenece. either way her opinion can't be trusted.
Plant what you want.

The neighbor doing "free" weeding is probably closest to the truth. I live in a pretty nice house that is sort of eye-catching (lots of people know the house). The prior owners spent an absolute fortune on landscaping, that I have not kept up in the same way. Anyway, this woman drives by my house every day and she told me that she and her husband are always commenting on what they would do with the landscaping. I think once she met me, she saw the opportunity to actually do what she would like.
She's a little OCD. Sort of like me with misspellings and grammar, but with weeding. She can't help it - and who am I to decline free landscaping services?
