Some bushes sleep I think. We had a mock orange that died
and we just left it the way it was. (at least we thought it was dead)

And now years later (at least 6 yrs) it is sending up suckers!
This was after some construction work on wall it was near by the city last spring.

edit to add... we had left the dead Mock Orange where it was, since the cats like to rub on the bark...something in it attracts them?
Most of the little branches broke off anyway, and since it was on the city's easement, it was no big deal. But now I have a ton of suckers there mixed in with the resident day lilies. For now we will leave it be and see what happens.
