[MAIPC] Honeysuckle management

[Richard Gardner]

I am not sure about allelopathy.  However, we used my legs and back and a Puller Bear to remove the bush honeysuckles.  Our largest plants, 6' tall or so, came out with judicious amounts of muscle.  The Puller Bear may work for larger plants as it helped with the smaller ones I tried it on in our yard.  I also suggest a spading fork with a long handle to help remove the roots. The Puller Bear was very useful pulling out the roots of  Oriental bittersweet.                                                                                Richard Gardner

The natives seem to be successful, but some of the honeysuckle requires re-treatment. So I would say the allelopathic effects are not persistent (but this is highly anecdotal).

Subject: [MAIPC] Honeysuckle management    All:    I am working with a client who has large stands of bush honeysuckle on a slope within their property, which they hope to remove in the fall. We've heard about allelopathy in shrub honeysuckle and are wondering how this will affect new plants. Does anyone have experience with this? Will the substance persist in the soil after the plants are removed? They intend to re-plant with native shrubs. If new shrubs are planted soon after the honeysuckle is removed, are the new plants at risk?    Also, while the new plants are growing and filling in, they are considering planting bare areas with rye grass to hold the soil. Has anyone used this technique, and if so, do you have any pointers about it? Any recommendations for alternatives to hold the soil?    Thank you so much for any information you can share.
