Young Honeysuckle help
« on: April 13, 2009, 16:07 »
I have some little honeysuckle plants that were bought as plug plants.

I potted them up and they have really taken off.

Should I pinch out the growing tips to make them, more bushy? They are meant to be a small patio variety that only grows to about 3' tall.



Any ideas?

If you cut it back now youmight not get any flowers--- if it were me I'd plant it in it's final place and see how it goes. Prune after it's flowered. Hope that helps

Plant it where it is going to go and give it a good feed. You'll soon see it take off. It's a climber obiously but i wouldn't pinch it off with such a small young bit. You'll soon have it branching off and you can always nip the top off later in the year once it has been more established.
