Honeysuckle! What It Is?
Honeysuckle is a plant, A BIG plant! It is inva-
sive which means it is a problem to the eco-
system. There will be more about what and
where honeysuckle lives!
Where It Lives? Honeysuckle is in the United states but here are some
places were you would not expect it to be… Honey-
suckle can live in China, Japan, and Korea.
Habitats They live In abandoned fields,
open canopy, and planted for-
ests they are also along the
edge of wood lots, flood plains,
and high ways. Very surpris-
ing!!!!
Why They Are Invasive?
Honeysuckle can grow up to 20 feet tall, that is really
long. Plus it can grow really fast. It can grow so fast that
it crowds the native plants which causes the native
plants not to grow as easy. There are spring flowers
that have red fruit that attract to over 20 species of
birds and if the Honeysuckle crowds the flowers then
that means that there is no more fruit, then there is no
more birds.
Fun Facts Don’t let honeysuckle fool you by the sweetness of the
smell like a rose or a daisy. Unlike those, honeysuckle is
dangerous. Honeysuckle in the wrong place is really bad
because it will make the ecosystem change. You can find
more about this above.
What Do You Think We Can Do? What do you think we can do to prevent honeysuckle from spreading?
People from Kane county forest preserve burn and kill all the invasive spe-
cies all over the forest. The native plants can not be killed by fire, only the
invasive ones. They also pull the plants out of the ground. That is one way
to get rid of invasive plants. Invasive animals such as pythons and giant
goldfish can just be captured and put back were there natural habitats are,
but it is even harder that way.
The End This is the end. Honeysuckle can be stopped so if you see honey-
suckle like if they’re invasive near you try to get it out and remember
there is so many invasive species in the world you need to care but
that is just what the world is. You probably have seen some invasive
species but if you haven't you probably will see one in your life. Look
out for honeysuckle.
