Is this a Honeysuckle? #842952

Asked July 27, 2023, 7:43 PM EDT

We just moved into our house and it was advertised to have 13 berry varieties on site but I don’t know all the types. I’m trying to make sure we don’t have anything unsafe for my small children. I’m guessing they are safe but I want to be sure. Someone mentioned I may be able to contact you all? Let me know what I can do. Thank you!

Hi Tia,

Thanks for your question and photos! Would you be able to bring in a sample of the plants in question? (See office address below. The office is on the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. Look for parking lot J ). Sample should be around six inches and include, if possible, leaves, flower, fruits.

Thank you!
