  Honeysuckle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
) are arching shrubs or twining vines in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to the Northern Hemisphere.
Honeysuckle can be controlled by cutting, flaming, or burning the plant to root level and repeating on two-week increments until nutrient reserves in the roots are depleted.
Honeysuckle can also be controlled through annual applications of glyphosate, or through grubbing if high labor and soil destruction are not of concern.

 Caprifoliaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caprifoliaceae or honeysuckle family is a clade consisting of about 800 dicotyledonous flowering plants, with a nearly cosmopolitan distribution; centres of diversity are found in eastern North America and eastern Asia, while they are absent in tropical and southern Africa.
Two of the most familiar members of the family, the elder and the viburnum, have been moved into Adoxaceae, along with some other genera.
The plants belonging to this family are mainly hardy ornamental shrubs or vines, many popular garden shrubs, especially Lonicera.

 Wisconsin Vascular Plants: Family Details Page
Native species of either Lonicera, Honeysuckle, or Viburnum may grow in savanna thickets or prairie borders, and various Asiatic species are favorite ornamentals.
Two commonly grown in Wisconsin are the Siberian L. tatarica and the Japanese L. morrowii, the parents of L. X bella (“beautiful honeysuckle,” a misnomer for this dreadful shrub if there ever was one).
Ahighly variable hybrid swarm (Barnes & Cottam 1974), L. X bella is a terribly efficient invader of woods, thickets and prairies, probably because, recently evolved and locally selected by our human-disturbed environment, and with a longer leafy season than any native shrub, it is perfectly adapted to our disturbed habitats.
