Additional Info
Notes: This and other Eurasian honeysuckles were introduced as ornamentals for erosion control and wildlife cover. Although still sold in nurseries, their aggressive growth habit no longer makes planting them a good choice. They are among the most troublesome invasives in natural areas in Arlington and Alexandria.
Method of removal: Up root if small enough ot cut/paint bigger plants
Additional Note: MGNV's Suggested replacement: Rosa palustris (Swamp Rose) is for fragrance. The rest of the suggested replacements are for fruit.
