The honeysuckle is considered invasive because of the berries and they
are primarily distributed by the birds. So trimming it back only controls
its spread in its own immediate vicinity. If you are in an area near
woodland, it is not advised that Lonicera japonica, or some of the
shrubs, be planted.
