The Japanese Honeysuckle is native to Eastern Asia. Mainly in parts of Japan and Korea. It is a woody vine that is has a brown bark, evergreen leaves, and contains black berries.
Japanese Honeysuckle was introduced to the United States in 1806 in Long Island, NY. Now, it covers the eastern half of the United States, suffocatiing 26 states. It also occurs in all 92 Indiana Countries. However it is more severe Southern Indiana. It was originially brought here as an ornamental plant.
This plant is harmful to its environment because it suffocates the plants around it. Its like any other weed, exploiting all of the water in its location, however it grows rapildy, thus surronding native plants in a blanket of vines. Also, the Honeysuckle competes against plants for underground resources.
