Not necessarily - there are a good many shrub honeysuckle that are
evergreen. If that's what you have and they've lost all their leaves, you
might have something to worry about. Do you know the species?

Mine? No clue. There were ancient when I moved in here 7 years ago.

A few were cut to the ground to accommodate new fencing and they
came back like crazy. Now the older ones are as tall as trees and the ones
that are 7 are way over my head.
