This will be my project next two weekends!!! Have 40 of these honeysuckle plants to plant throughout the ranch!!! Really excited about the potential these bring.

When I got these they were bareroot and about a $1.00 each if I remember correctly. The pot were $5-6 apiece. So I ordered the bareroot plants. My ex-wife teaches horticulture and I asked her if she would grow them out for me, which she did. Next year I will order more but order in February so they will be ready to plant in March. -
Deer will eat that stuff up

I've got honeysuckle everywhere on my property in NE Tx. Was out there a few weeks ago and the smell was awesome.Comment

What I find crazy is that fertilized, it will produces tons of forage... Grows rapidly, withstands heavy browsing, drought resistant, 16-18% protein content and deer love it. And a hell of a lot cheaper than planting food plots every yearOriginally posted by BTLowry View PostDeer will eat that stuff upComment

Much closer to that yeti and they'll die from an early frost...Comment

Hope they take hold Brandon. May have to try some on our place.Comment

Yeah but the times I planted some it never had a chance. The deer chowed it down and out. I wonder how it grows in sandy soil?????Comment

Seems like I saw on QDMA that they advised against planting that where it wasn't native because it grew really fast and can take over native species. Any truth to that? Otherwise I want to try it myself.Comment

I've read those articles as well. It seems the QDMA is against doing anything that isn't native, also keep in mind most of there focus is based upon the deep southeast where they don't have the deer population that we do.Originally posted by Daniel75 View PostComment

It can and will take over. Planting non natives is a bad idea.Originally posted by Daniel75 View PostComment

My experience is to plant them in lines like a fence row to establish them in one area at a time.Comment
