Diseased Honeysuckle

Question

recently moved house and acquired a honeysuckle. As Spring has progressed it has developed thousands on green or aphids on each cluster of flowers. I have sprayed a couple of times with soapy water. The insects now appear dead but the plant looks in a bad way – what should I do please, I have considered pruning it to see if new growth will appear.

Answer 1

You can give it a light pruning any time of the year, but save major pruning for spring or fall.
