japanese bush honeysuckle. extremely bad invasive plant. they will take over and form solid thickets and beat out all forest flora including tree regeneration. nothing will grow under them. mowing or cutting makes it worse. they need sprayed with a witches brew of nasty chemicals and you kill everything and 3 years later when the ground cools you start over with natural native plants that will come in on their own. probably the most destructiver non native invasive in indiana. the red berries are the seed and they live 10 years or some deal like that. between garlic mustard, dutch elm disease, multiflora rose,chesnut fungus, emorald ash borer, walnut wilt, oak wilt , purple looseleaf, bush hineysuckle, coyotes, and barok obama it`s a toss up which is worse. probably barok is worse than the total combined of all the rest. or maybe better said his socialism/communism/anti gun/pro queer veiws/pro muslim ways.

Thanks Bob. Its not on my property. I was out checking spots for deer stands and came accross a patch of it. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing out on some tasty berries.
When I first got my place, the multiflora rose was thick. 4 years of overgrazing by goats, cutting and burning got rid of it. Much easier to get rid of than Obama.

I`ve heard there is some viral disease killing off the multi flora but so far it must not have made it here.

The Indiana DNR has alot of that stuff planted in rows all over that Pigeon River Wildlife Manament Area as wind breaks and cover for wildlife. I always kind of thought it was related to Russian Olive.

nope, no relation. robert, the dnr did not plant it if it`s there. in fact it`s on the illegal invasive list. but I guess then we ARE talking about the idnr, who has canned hunts they run for money but says running coyotes in pens is not "fair chase". well neither is shooting fish in a barrel or tame pheasants that are dumber than chickens and starve if no one shoots them. google up bush honysuckle and read on it. it`ll scare you to death. it`s like 10 million coyotes descend on the last red fox in the country type deal
