Honeysuckle
(Lonieoera japonica)				USDA Zones
A true favorite of whitetails throughout the United States, Honeysuckle will adapt to most any climate and will also grow in shady areas. Managed Honeysuckle will produce a healthy food source for deer with protein levels reaching up to 16%. Deer love the sweet taste of the Honeysuckle. We recommend placing new plants under a protective cover to prevent wildlife from damaging root systems. We use a 50 - 100 ft. stretch of 2x4 welded wire, 5 ft. tall. Fold the fence in half and create an "A" frame structure. Plant Honeysuckle in a straight line and cover with the "A" frame. When the vines run through the fence, deer relish the tender sprouts of new growth and cannot damage the root system. Remember to cover the ends of the "A" frame and secure the structure with 2 "T" posts and re-bar. Honeysuckle can be planted in spring or fall.
