Hi Gina, The good news is yes: your Fothergilla plants will come back. (Mine were eaten again this Winter too.) The bad news is there’s nothing to prevent them from being eaten again unless you put a fence around them. Fothergilla in general are slower growing shrubs, so they will come back, but won’t return as large as you (and I) would like in one season. I’m going to do my usual slow-release fertilizer and add in some composted manure (bagged) around the plants, but that’s it. Sigh. Believe me I wish the animals would leave these alone!

However the rabbits have eaten them down to about 8 inches tall. Will they come back and how can I encourage faster growth.
