Japanese Honeysuckle...Great smell, totally invasive! I do not think they let you sell it here anymore!

It was a multi day project to remove the honeysuckle along my back lot line. It still rises from the grave in spots!

We also have a lot of invasive honeysuckle.

This guy has great info on dealing with invasives which unfortunately requires judicious use of glyphosate. He has a number of very good videos that show and describe different plants and how to deal with them.

He and his wife both have degrees in botany, so he does know what he’s talking about and explains things very clearly.

Honeysuckle is totally invasive in SoCal too - I keep it trimmed back - was here when we got here 30 years ago. I love the smell of it around my front porch. It is a beast.

The one I posted is in a pot - I hope to keep it contained and it is only supposed to grow 15 feet. We’ll see.

I battle morning glory in the back of my property - just when I think I’ve finally eradicated it, it rears up again. Fighting it right now and to this day.
