My Honeysuckle Isn’t Doing Well

Question

My honeysuckle is 3 years old and has never done well. It grows against a brick wall in full and partial sun. It seems to follow this pattern. It looks lush and healthy up to April but then the leaves start turning yellow, withering then fall off. Is there anything I can do? Thank you.

Answer 1

This sounds typical of several fungal and bacterial infections. I would try treating with a fungicide or bactericide. Here are some articles that will help:
