I chop this back nearly to the floor, it is very bushy this year and has kept a good shape, not as leggy as in other years.

Your Himalayan Honeysuckle looks very healthy Olive. I love to see the blackbirds jumping up for these berries when they are ripe. No doubt you will have plenty of "self seeders" as well ... lol.

I have Alan and have put some in other borders in the garden :O) I also passed some on to a friend for his pheasant field. lol :O) They are very prolific but I think very pretty in the border. Granted you need space but eh I was not short of that here. Note I said was not!!! think I am about full up to the hilt now. Larger shoehorn is needed me thinks. lol :O)

Love this Olive, mine`s in the front garden its been there about six years and has never self seeded I wonder why.

Strange isn't it, no idea stroller why it doesn't wonder if the birds eat the seeds before they fall.
