Honeysuckle should also be pruned properly during the growth period. At this time, the new branches grow fast and can recover quickly after pruning. This time, in addition to cutting off too long branches, you can also properly thin branches and cut off cross branches and overlapping branches to ensure a certain amount of light and air circulation inside.
