>Re: ya'arot yapaniotI recently asked the group if anyone has had experience
with Japanese honeysuckle vines, known in the vernacular here as "yaarot
yapaniot". The botanical name is "Lonicera Japonica". Anyone out there
have any experience with them? Perhaps in a windy area?

Yoel:
This is an omni-present, agressive vine in the subtropical southeastern
United States. It comes up in wood clearings and disturbed soils near
shade. I have thousands of seedlings on the edge of my 400 foot driveway,
starting at the edge of the actively-driven surface to the far side of the
ditch that runs alond the road. Poison ivy can compete with it in these
areas. It has naturalized as far north as Massachusetts, where it probably
isn't as rampant a weed.
