First Native Honeysuckle Vine...Have ???'s

18 years ago

Good Morning Everyone :)

I have ordered my very first native Honeysuckle Vine (it is scheduled to be delivered June 16th). It is a John Clayton.

I have some question.

I purchased a 6 ft. tall x 5 ft. wide trellis. Will this be enough support for the honeysuckle.

Also about pruning. I am in Zone 5B. Do I prune this back in the fall (after frost or before) and if so, how far do I prune it down.

I could buy another trellis for next to the one I already purchased but I cannot go any taller in feet.

Please help a newbie out to honeysuckle.

Thanks in advance :)
