Plants of New Hampshire: American Honeysuckle
Lonicera canadensis Bartr. ex Marsh. is a woody shrub found in the northern United States (east of the Dakotas). Approximately 13 species of Lonicera are found in New Hampshire, and most of them are nonnative invasive plants. One should be careful about planting a Lonicera in the yard or garden; check Go Botany to make sure that you are planting a native and not an invasive member of this genus . This species is one of five that are native to our beautiful state. I took these photos of the developing fruits in the Purgatory Gorge area. This plant is in the Caprifoliaceae family.
