Honeysuckle pruning.

[BML]

I have a prolific Honeysuckle which a Blackbird nests in each year but the Honeysuckle is begining to get much to large. I want to ensure that I don't take away the Blackbirds nesting area for next spring so when should I cut the Honeysuckle back?

Hi BML,

Prune in late winter.

It is best to prune honeysuckle in the winter it has more flowers in the spring that way they sure smell nice
