Invasive bush honeysuckles, a group of several exotic species in the genus Lonicera, are a major threat to native plant communities across much of eastern North America. Although these exotic shrubs are a clear danger to native plant communities, they are still promoted by some and are even available through the horticulture trade (although outlawed now in many states). Join me for a look at some of the misinformed ideas about invasive bush honeysuckles, some of the reasons why it is such a threat to native ecosystems, and some of the native shrub alternatives to them.
If you have a good story about eradicating bush honeysuckle, or even a horror story about it not being controlled please share it in the comments!
