Should I be worried?

Good evening all,

I was hoping somebody would be able to help identify this plant that is growing in my neighbour's garden.

Also, is it a potential problem?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.



Thanks in advance.

 

Looks like Honeysuckle.

 

@AC79 shouldn't pose any problem if it hangs on your side of the fence- and when flowering smells lovely

 

Thank you for your replies.

So do you both agree that it is Honeysuckle?

I was worried it was the dreaded Japanese Knotweed

 

It is nothing like Japanese Knotweed!

 

Sorry should have said that it was in MHO Honeysuckle too Most definitely not Japanese knotweed see attached pics


Honeysuckle can be cut down to the ground if your concerned about it getting too big - it will regrow next year...but it's not a problem plant in the true sense of the word- very wildlife friendly in fact so a bonus

 

Yep, Honeysuckle, not knotweed

Shakespear refered to it as Woodbine.

 

Used to be able to buy 5 of them at a time - then they went up to 10 packs - too expensive !

 

‘Is this a 10 pack which I see before me, the handle toward my hand?’

 

Well, just to throw a spanner in the works, looks like Vinca (periwinkle) to me! Not a problem, good ground cover!

 

Thanks guys. Much appreciated

 

''Aye, 'tis young Sir. Some had 10 packs thrust upon them ....others only three or four''

I see honeysuckle

 

@AC79 Vinca Pics so you have two plants to compare the neighbour's plant with - but one thing is certain - it's .......k -NOT Knotweed

 

Now you'm using a different poet

Not sure a Wordsworth is up to current gas safety standards...
