honeysuckle
I have a lovely honeysuckle which flowered very well during the spring.
There are nice berries on it now. However a few days ago the leaves started to fall off. Is this normal or do I have a problem. Please help! |

However a few days ago the leaves started to fall off. Is this normal or do I have a problem. Please help! Just a point 16 years ago we bought a honeysuckle to put at the rear of our garden. It now runs rampant and damned near uncontrollable over many parts of the garden and others gardens too. Due, I suspect to the birds eating the berries and crapping out the seeds. So a suggestion might be to pick all the berries off and put them in the rubbish bin. And then you could put out expensive birdseed to compensate for cutting off the food source, and have sunflowers all over your garden ;-) -- Kay well said |

honeysuckle
Hello all
A slight diversion - perhaps I should start a new thread - but what is the best way to give a honeysuckle a seasonal haircut ? It's alonicera x heckrotti, I think, planted on a corner next to a window. On the outside it is really beautiful with white and yellow flowers and a delicious scent. From inside the window, however, it's a mass of scraggy brown. The problem is that if I cut out the scraggy brown mess I'm at the same time cutting out the green live shoots - because it's all on the same stems. Grateful for any ideas (.¿.) Raymond RUSSELL |
