Well, I guess 'Arnold' is on notice. I'll have to put him on the list for
replacement with something else - possibly edible by humans. Thanks for the
info.

Honeysuckle should have been on the top of those lists with buckthorns &
p.loostrife.

Honeysuckles grown from seeds (for example, spread by birds) display
variability. That's why selections of different flower colors or mature
shape can be found & vegetatively propagated & spread by commerce.
