Bush Honeysuckle Control

Bush honeysuckles are probably the most aggressive exotic plants that have escaped and naturalized in urban areas, where the woodland understory is often a solid layer of green from these shrubs. MDC videographer Kevin Muenks provides valuable info and helpful tips on controlling this invasive plant.

What hrbicide is used for badal bark treatment?

I've been fighting these for years in our wooded yard. Uprooting is the best method, but they seem to just come back anyway.

Is it possible/practical to use these as rootstocks for honeyberry to take advantage of an already-established root system?

Is it worth controlling if your neighbors won’t control theirs, or will it always be a losing battle?

Good video but no information on which chemicals to use and formulations for each.

Controlling the spread of invasive species would be a really good way to rehabilitate our prison population! Lots of hard work and an immediate sense of accomplishment Will help inmates to become productive members of society!

Missouri, Indiana, New York...
A friend of mind chains them to the tractor & but they reproduce quickly, far & wide!

Spread the word. Long live the natives!

I blame companies that bring invasive plants in the USA for sale to gardener or sell them to be used as erosion control.

Now only if I could uproot asian carp.

I use a Ratchet Rake on my tractor bucket, and they pop right out.

This shrub is native to Ontario, Canada (which is where I'm from), so I plan on planting this in my backyard.

Complete nonsense. Over hype the threat over plants that are actually good brush cover for animals and make a video about it. Useless to the point of wasteful. Read Invasion Biology by Mark A. Davis and get some balance on what you are doing. Educate yourself before you attempt to teach others.
