Evaluation of Lonicera Taxa for Honeysuckle Aphid Susceptibility, Winter Hardiness, and Plant Use

One-hundred honeysuckle taxa were evaluated in North Dakota and/or reviewed in the literature for relative honeysuckle aphid [ Hyadaphis tataricae (Aizenberg)] susceptibility, winterhardiness and landscape characteristics. Thirty-nine taxa were rated susceptible or highly susceptible, nine lightly susceptible and 45 with apparent resistance to aphid disfiguration. Only 12 taxa were selected in the very acceptable to highly recommended categories for landscape planting in USDA hardiness zones 2 through 5. Eight taxa were recommended for potential use in shelterbelt or conservation plantings.
