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.

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

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 year

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

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?????

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.

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.

It can and will take over. Planting non natives is a bad idea.

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

I have it all over my farm. Deer do browse it some but I put it in the average preference category . It grows along edges everywhere. I do keep an eye on it as an indicator specie for population mgt.

Maybe because its always been there? I would think if the deer always have had it on demand that they wouldn't go at it as much. Kind of like now that I live a block away from Whataburger, I don't eat there nearly as much as I used to because its so close. (And I ate it ALOT when I moved here) Just my thought.

How can you tell what you have and also it is very hard to clip a vine of a living plant and have it grow? I have a pretty good sized honey suckle in the back yard that produces the very bright orange flowers.

I ordered mine from a nursery. They aren't that expensive.
