I have honeysuckle close to my house at the farm, that was from cutting at my grandmother’s mother’s house.
I have a Lilac bush that is from cuttings from a Lilac bush brought from Virginia to Texas by my Grandmother’s family. We planted it in my daughter’s yard in N. Virginia.
They have labeled as invasive what my grandmother had in her flower bed by her front door, perrywinkle (Vinca). They never were invasive in this part of Texas.
I can think of a lot of plants that are invasive, my family has owned and operated farms in this county since 1889.
I know about invasive weeds.
We have total inundation of Bush Honeysuckle around here. Nothing grows under a mature stand of this. No new growth tree, weeds, grass nothing. If it’s not mowed or tilled around here you’ll find a thick, 15 foot high canopy with a barren dirt desert beneath.
