Lonicera spp.
Similar to Lonicera japonica Thunb.
Invasive Japanese honeysuckle also resembles our native honeysuckle vines, Lonicera sempervirens, coral honeysuckle, and Lonicera flava, yellow honeysuckle.
The native vines usually have reddish hairless stems and do not form extensive infestations. Yellow honeysuckle has true yellow flowers and is state listed as rare (Threatened) in Tennessee.
Coral honeysuckle is loaded with rich red flowers in May and flowers sporadically into the fall. It attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Birds eat the fruit. There are several cultivars available, including a yellow flowering variety.
