The length of the main vine can reach 9 meters.
The stem skin is peeled off and the branches are slender.
The single leaf is opposite, ovate or elliptic-ovate, 3 ~ 8 cm long, acute at the apex, round to nearly cardioid at the base, entire, pilose on both sides when young, and smooth when old.
Umbrella, axillary flowers in pairs, corolla tubular lip-shaped, flowers turn white first and then yellow, fragrant.
Berries are spherical and blue-black.
The flowering period is May-July, and the fruiting period is 8-65438+1October.
Honeysuckle is light-loving, shade-resistant, cold-resistant, drought-resistant, waterlogging-resistant, water-resistant and wet-resistant, with strong adaptability and lax requirements on soil, and can grow in both acidic and alkaline soils.
Strong germination ability and strong resistance to sulfur dioxide, chlorine and fluorine gas.
Honeysuckle. Strong branching, developed root system, strong germination, many branches and vines, and stems and vines can take root when they touch the ground.
Climbing ability is not very strong, flowers are axillary.
Honeysuckle can be hedged or hung. Because the tree is not big, it is generally not used as the main vine of green space.
Transplanting should be carried out in spring, and two or three-year-old seedlings should be selected, and every 2 ~ 3 plants are clustered.
There must be something else to climb, otherwise the new buds will be clustered on the spot and intertwined with each other, and a good plant shape will not be formed, and there will be few flowers, which will affect the appreciation.
Honeysuckle usually blossoms twice a year.
When the first batch of flowers wither, the new buds should be properly cored to promote the germination of the second batch of flower buds.
Maintenance and pruning can be carried out when there are few leaves in winter, and thinning is the main method.
When dormant every year, the dead old branches, over-dense branches, slender branches, cross branches and pest branches are cut off from the base to make the branches evenly distributed and ventilated and transparent.
Cut off the tips of the remaining branches properly, so as to facilitate the germination and growth of axillary buds at the base in the second year, with more new branches and more flowers.
If you plant shrubs, you can trim the stems and branches properly. When the branches grow to the required height, it is interesting to trim the sprouting branches at the roots and lower parts and keep the dry branches.
