It started off as a pretty little shrub
My ex hated it and wanted to cut it down but I told him he’d have to get past me first.
Ten years later its a monster
After all this rainy weather I ventured into my garden and there are baby himalayan honeysuckles sprouting up all over.
there must be thousands of seedlings, nay millions
My gravel is awash with baby green monstersApparently the berries, although bitter, are edible
Ideas anyone (apart from moving house)

20 July, 2008 at 11:06 am #355797its beautiful and much admired by passers by
in fact i’ve given cuttings to lots of people :twisted:The flowers hang downwards and are replaced by berries that resemble bunches of crimson grapes
:idea: I could start making home made wine :idea:
20 July, 2008 at 11:17 am #355798Something like “round up”” or “weedol” should stop it.
You should be cutting this plant back in spring, its a nasty one and will take over your garden.
Your better off removing it and replanting it in a pot or a bin to keep its size down.
20 July, 2008 at 11:22 am #355799thanks for that dead
It is seriously becoming a problem
I shall remove it and replace the crater with a pond20 July, 2008 at 11:36 am #355800
