Re: Lonicera fragrantissima

Apparently that's not happening here. The plant I got mine from is ancient and only has suckers as far as the branches extend, which is about 10-12 feet. Sometimes I think the plant police get a little hysterical. I've never heard of it being considered a pest in this part of the state.

You should know that this plant is considered a pest in many parts of the country, including Tennessee. I've never seen a berry on mine, but I've kept an eye out.
