Japanese honeysuckle (the one with the white and yellow flowers) (lonicera japonica) is a terribly aggressive invasive species that destroys woodlands and chokes out trees. I am battling it in many natural areas in my community, where it is choking trees with its woody vines. It is incredibly destructive to our native species and should not be grown. It is being outlawed for sale in many states for this reason. PLEASE do not plant, purchase, or grow this plant. Even if it is not invasive in your yard, its flowers produce berries, and the birds spread it from your yard to wild areas where it kills trees. Please choose a native vine instead. Thank you.
