Honeysuckles with no berries
| | |
Posted by techigirl78 5 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 28, 09 at 15:25
| I have four honeysuckle vines (2 x Lonicera sempervirens -magnifica & 2 x Lonicera brownii dropmore scarlet). I found one old thread that said you needed two species to get berries. I've had the plants close to 3 years and they bloom wonderfully, but no berries. Do I need to get a different one? If yes, any recommendations on which species? |

| At my previous home in NJ I had 5 Lonicera sempervirens of varing cultivars and had reasonable berry production every year. I had alot of humminbird visiting them so I am sure I got good polination. Now I live in CA and currently have one Lonicera sempervirens - magnifica and still have berries although not as many but I have alot of hummingbirds here as well. Perhaps you are not getting good polination. Do you have hummingbirds where you live? |

| We do have hummingbirds here in WI, by I haven't seen too many in my yard. I have recently added a feeder and a number of hummingbird/butterfly native wildflowers. Hopefully that will help. The vines have been constantly visted by bees this year, so I guess I'll have to wait and see. It would be nice to get the berries for the birds. |
