Most all healthy broadleaf species can regenerate all their foliage if it is removed. It really has nothing to do with it being evergreen or not. I don't know if that answers your question or you have something more specific in mind?

Keep in mind you are talking about more than "foliage" when you remove all the branches. In the case of shrubs like pyracantha, olive, privet, azalea, even removing the branching is hardly ever a problem if the tree is healthy, but timing may be an issue - don't do it in the middle of winter or very late fall, or you may get regrowth that will die off in frost.
Regards, Matt

I have several pyracanthas, and two of them fit this discussion. One was chain-sawed down to a stump, and then pulled out of the ground with a pickup truck and chain. I found it with the trash at the curb, took it home and put it in a tub. The second was again chain-sawed to nothing, and then chopped out of a fence line with an ax. Again into a pot. Neither had any branches or feeder roots.
In less than a year both have thrown out more new foliage than I know what to do with. I'm leaving them alone for now to make sure they re-establish some roots. I don't think you can kill pyracantha as long as they have some contact with something that could be considered soil. My recommendation would be to chop away. Brian
