  • Question

    Trying again. Hopefully the images come through. Is this lonicera maackii? If so, any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Answer

    Dear chorn, your plant looks like Lonicera morrowii (Morrow's honeysuckle). This species has leaves that lacks the drawn out apex as found in Lonicera maackii. Lonicera morrowii is a common, and invasive, shrub found throughout much of New England. Best wishes.
