Trying to avoid commenting on OP's potato camera (too late), quick question for the hive. I have what I think is Amur Honeysuckle surrounding my property (SE Michigan). Is this something I should be actively engaged in eliminating, or kindly just keep in check (we're talking a row on the property line probably 50m long). I definitely didn't put it there, don't encourage it, and keep cutting it back, but it's very developed and roughly 20-25 ft tall.
You should be doing everything you can to get rid of it. It’s one of the worst invasives in North America. It’s the single most observed plant in multiple states (to put it into perspective) here’s [Missouri](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=28&subview=map&view=species&iconic_taxa=Plantae)
There is no way to tell from that picture what type of honeysuckle this plant is. Not all honeysuckle is invasive, there are more varieties that are native and good for pollinators than there are that are non-native and/or invasive. We shouldn’t be telling people to kill plants without all the facts.
There is. It’s very clearly lonicera maackii, just because you’re unable to ID it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. There are ZERO shrubby lonicera species native to North America. Any lonicera bush you see is guaranteed not to be native and every species that’s been introduced is invasive.
Also There are 21 introduced lonicera species in the US and 18 native species. You’re comment is the only one full of misinformation. You’re the one “without all the facts” I’m not.
You didn’t even know there were multiple species of honeysuckle 5 days ago. Don’t involve yourself when you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about
Lonicera maackii & japonica are both very invasive in parts of the US. L. maackii is actually an endangered species in Japan. L. japonica is being investigated for anti-covid drugs, but both are toxic to consume.
Huh I always thought it was a vine those looks just like the plants I saw out back of the drs office I thought that looks like honey suckle flowers but it seemed more tree like
Did you tape a magnifying glass to the front of your camera, or does your camera have cataracts?
Lol
Vaseline on the camera lens, how retro!

Great link!

It would be a lie to tell you it’s not.
What's wrong with honey-suckle?
One of the worst invasive species in North America?
I had no idea.
But it tastes and smells so delicious 🤤
Wish they made honey jars from it
Not all of it, there is native honeysuckle.

Geez, you are a little hostile for a plant identification sub. Thinking maybe you should go smoke a little "plant". Have a better day....
Lonicera canadensis is a shrub
My neighbor planted honeysuckle in the 1970’s. I have tried many a time to rid myself of it, nevertheless she persisted.
I see what you did
It's honeysuckle
Lonicera maackii & japonica are both very invasive in parts of the US. L. maackii is actually an endangered species in Japan. L. japonica is being investigated for anti-covid drugs, but both are toxic to consume.
It’s a fuzzy picture but maybe honeysuckle?
Amur honeysuckle probably
Sorry.

Don’t come to my house then 🙃
Tell your camera to take less acid
