My sister lives in central PA and has many of these wild shrubs in the woods surrounding her new home. Can someone please ID for her? Thanks!

Eleagnus, I believe. A non-native, invasive, ecologically harmful plant.

Based on the shade, I go with mt. Laurel and azaleas. There are plenty that will be about the right height. Mt. Laurel minuet, for example. Azalea Weston's lollipop. Dwarf Fothergillia. They will do well with part shade. If you have sun, you have more choices, but I'm not as sure of them, given that my yard has part shade, shade and deep shade. Try Bluestone perennials. They have plenty of shrub choices.
