There are a number of invasive "bush" honeysuckle plants, varying in aggressiveness. They all have opposite, smooth edged leaves, no thorns, and hollow stems:

* Morrow's Honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii) [ USDA, Wikipedia ] - Recognizable by its white flowers. This is the most common species in Acton.
* Showy Fly or Bell's Honeysuckle (Lonicera bella, hybrid of Lonicera morrowii and Lonicera tatarica) [ GoBotany ]. This variety is recognizable by its white pink flowers.
* Tatarian Honesuckle (Lonicera tatarica) [ USDA, Wikipedia ] - This variant is recognizable by its pink flowers.

== Removal ==
Bush Honeysuckle, like most invasive plants, needs to have its roots removed. It tends to have several large roots, but they aren't deep. While interconnected at the base, each stem of a bush tends to be connected to one or two roots, making a divide and conquer approach possible.

There will be regrowth from any small root fragments left behind, which will require repeated clearings.

Removed plant material can be placed in a [[brush pile.]]
