We have indicated on the range map where Japanese honeysuckle can be particularly troublesome, but it may be found elsewhere. In fact, infestations have been found as far west as Oklahoma and Texas!

While the flowers of honeysuckle have a delicious and heady perfume, the plant is a monstrous pest. Once it starts, it never stops growing. The vines climb into trees and shrubs, engulfing them in a sea of leaves. The trees collapse and die, die, die. This weed is such a tough plant to control that if even one survives a clean-up, trouble is sure to follow. Photographs below show Japanese honeysuckle, as well as other invasive bush honeysuckles.
