Lonicera japonica's rapid growth allows it to outcompete other plants in the areas it invades. Management of invasive Lonicera japonica has been achieved through a variety of means. Small patches can be removed by hand, or using simple digging tools, [21] but all plant parts including roots and rhizomes must be removed to prevent resprouting. [5]
The spread of L. japonica in North America began in the United States in 1806, and it was widely cultivated by the 1860s. [3] It was first discovered in Canada in Ontario forests in 1976, and became invasive by 2007. [3] L. japonica was introduced in Australia between 1820 and 1840. [3]

The first mention of a specimen for commercial sale in an American plant catalogue is in 1860. [6] The honeysuckle is used as an ornamental plant for its fragrant flowers. In some parts of the world, where conditions are right, when it moves out of cultivation and takes hold in the wild, it can become an invasive weed. [7]
