North-East Kansas. I want to add large swaths of Prunus and Salix to my yard, but I also want to be realistic about the spread. I've got an area of my yard that is about 10'x15' that backs up to my neighbors lawn. I figured since it's turf on the other side, I shouldn't feel guilty about an aggressive thicket species. Can i simply mow or cut the new sprouts to contain it every year or am I signing myself up for more work than I can handle?

There is a 3’ grass path I intend to maintain and I’ve planted Rhus copallinum in the bed on the left in the 2nd pic. Floods in spring along the fence.
