Apologies if I sent everyone a pic of a dead deer. There are a variety of pics of deer stick in trees online and I just chose one I thought looked alive (didn't really pay attention). Still, you can see that if there was any honeysuckle in that tree, it is gone (eaten).<br><br>On Thursday, April 15, 2021, Ruth Douglas <<a href="mailto:cvilleruth@gmail.com">cvilleruth@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Ummmmm....is she dead or just stuck?</div><div><br></div><div>Ruth<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 10:51 AM Nathan Hartshorne <<a href="mailto:nshartshorne@gmail.com" target="_blank">nshartshorne@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>She got the honeysuckle!<br></div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_knhkm2io0" alt="image.png" width="564" height="375"></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 10:29 AM Ruth Douglas <<a href="mailto:cvilleruth@gmail.com" target="_blank">cvilleruth@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Marc, is it correct to say that J. honeysuckle won't bloom (and make seeds) unless it it climbing?</div><div><br></div><div>Ruth Douglas<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 10:05 AM Marc Imlay <<a href="mailto:ialm@erols.com" target="_blank">ialm@erols.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It is critical to remove the vines of Japanese honeysuckle going high up the trees.

So depending on the browse you see, you can even focus on other species. One big drawback of deer fences for restoration projects is that I would then have to deal with a lot of honeysuckle climbing up the baby trees. Obviously the control the deer provide isn't perfect, so it's good to do your sprays anyways, but it's rare when we can enjoy deer doing something so good, so I like to bring it up.<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Tue, Apr 13, 2021 at 12:18 PM Hamersky Business <<a href="mailto:william@skyhammer.com" target="_blank">william@skyhammer.com</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border-color:currentcolor currentcolor currentcolor rgb(204,204,204);border-style:none none none solid;border-width:medium medium medium 1pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the speedy replies everyone! <u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I was using 2-3% glyphosate. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">If it matters, I have the option of Candor or 3-D to use on these guys.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Geneva",serif;color:black">William Hamersky<br>Skyhammer<br><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/470+Taylors+Gap+Rd+Charlottesville,+VA+%C2%A022903?entry=gmail&source=g">470 Taylors Gap Rd</a><br><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/470+Taylors+Gap+Rd+Charlottesville,+VA+%C2%A022903?entry=gmail&source=g">Charlottesville, VA 22903</a><br><br>cel: 415. 516. 2560<br><br><a href="mailto:william@skyhammer.com" target="_blank">william@skyhammer.com</a><br><br>“The Ash, having fibres tenacious and strong,<br>Teaches me firm resistance, to battle with wrong."<br> Helen O.
