HONEYSUCKLE BERRIES

Last year I found myself in a bit of a dilemma.  I grow the honeysuckle called Lonicera Scentsation and I could not decide whether I was supposed to cut off the berries to encourage new flowers or if it made no difference at all.  What I did discover is that the berries are quite beautiful.  Very red.  I have noticed that the climber is continuing to turn out new flowers at the same time as other flowers are dying back and producing berries.  Think I shall leave it alone and see what happens.

Just feel it is important to mention that I trimmed back the honeysuckle very early in the spring as it was getting out of shape.  It does not seem to have stopped it producing flowers.
