...either high bush blueberries or Kolwitzia 'Dreamcatcher'. Wondering how many and do you concur on replacement?

I'm tired of searching for seedlings springing up in the nearby woods. Coppicing every other year to prevent seedlings, is no longer fun. And if I ever move (or get too old to do it), not a good thing.

If blueberries, I'm thinking a 1 for 1 swap. If Kolwitzia, just put one in the middle of the triangle? I think a single Kolwitzia will get large enough to fill this whole area, right?

And if that is true, then if I put a Kolwitzia in the middle of the triangle here, I don't have to dig out the BBs. Yea! But if I replace the BB's one for one, then I they need to be dug out. (not a very pleasant job, but do-able!)

Does this spot suggest any other ideas? (south facing, but filtered from trees). very well drained slope. occasional extra irrigation as needed. (the poor rutgan kousa dogwood on the right has struggled in this spot)
