Post by Pat093 »

This plant was bought from a lady that does bonsai near me.
She said it may be a Honeysuckle? But im not sure, so heres it is.
I went ahead and gave it the style i wanted too.

Lonicera is also known as honeysuckle and the flaking bark looks more like lonicera than privet. so I'd go with Lonicera. If you're still doubtful wait for flowers.

I have a Honeysuckle that looks exactly like the early images (and in just as poor condition). If you are able to get this puppy to thrive I would love to hear how.

I'll go with squizzy on this one Lonicera nitida or box honeysuckle.
