Dear listers,
Could any of you recommend a groundcover for a northern slope in the Sierra
Foothills of CA? The area in question is studded with oak trees and there
are also some photinia there. See below for a description of the soil
conditions (clay of course)
Thanks for your input.

Melissa,
The surrounding trees are Oaks. The leaves do not break down and, if not
removed, will strangle everything beneath them. (No, I don't have strong
feelings about the darn Oak leaves.)
The soil is clay, which masquerades as concrete. I do have irrigation
available on the slope for the photinia.
I'll have to look in our Sunset book for the zone.
Have a nice weekend.
Bob Scott
