Himalayan Honeysuckle

Himalayan Honeysuckle is native to western China, India, Nepal and Burma.
It has become a serious environmental weed in south-eastern Australia.
It is a multi-stemmed shrub to 2 m high, which forms dense thickets that smother and shade out native vegetation and prevent the regeneration of native plant species.
It spreads mostly by bird dispersed seeds, and when stems or dislodged stem pieces are in contact with moist soil and form roots.
Control of Himalayan Honeysuckle requires an integrated program that includes manual removal and herbicide application.
