When I was helping chop invasive Wild Honeysuckle I learned
that, in addition to it choking out native plants, the bright berries tempt the
birds, who fill up on them. Unfortunately, the berries don’t have the nutrition
that the native birds need to survive their long migrations. “The equivalent of
junk food,” the guide told us. So it’s endangering the wild bird population, as
well as native plants.
I thought it sounded like a good book title: Wild
Honeysuckle: A Story of Beauty and Betrayal.
Then I looked on Amazon to see if there were any similar
titles. Turns out that looking up books concerning honeysuckle leads to a lot
of pornography.
Who knew?
