    Greetings, my garden has a number of established honeysuckles (main stems about 2cm diameter). I suspect they're the same variety, but not sure. Can anyone identify the variety? They're pretty vigorous. In my ignorance, I've cut then back hard in previous years, but don't know how I should be treating them. The attached photos are taken today -- the larger one is growing fast at the moment. Any suggestions on how/when to prune also welcome. I don't have photos of the flowers, but from memory, fragrant, and yellow / white. Thanks in advance for any help!

    1. Looks like a climbing /twining type Honeysuckle.
    By pruning it you have stopped it from growing and flowering.
    They can grow huge.
    To id it we need to see clear pics of the flowers please.

    Leaves are different.

      Thanks for the help, much appreciated. I'll return with photos once they bloom.
