I’ve just found this Scarlet.

I’ve had trouble getting cuttings to take. Managed it but it took a few attempts.
RE: Honeysuckle - Scarlet - 08-11-2020
I'll have another go - maybe take a few dozen as back up

Years ago I read an article that recommended you grow Early and Late flowering honeysuckles for continuity of flowering - Belgica and Serotina?. I did buy one of each but, probably, before I moved house and they'll be perfuming my last garden!

Let me know if you find any bargain plants Vinny
RE: Honeysuckle - Small chilli - 09-11-2020
Thanks Vinny, I’ll have a look .

That's interesting, Vinny. . Its a shrub honeysuckle, not a climber so would be easier to find a home - near the house maybe.

We shall see. 
I don't know whether you remember the Mulberry I ordered once and received a stick!
Well the stick came good and even produced a few small mulberries this year. It's turned into a healthy looking plant now.I ordered various willow cutting's to root myself. After sticking them in the garden, one has reached 12 foot high in its first year!

Was it the dwarf Mulberry, Vinny? I bought one too and it had quite a few mulberries - but they were so small that I didn't pick them as I was convinced they'd grow larger.
They didn't - instead they shrivelled on the plant!

I thought that perhaps because it was a young plant it only gave me small mulberries? Now the plant is established I am expecting a decent crop next year.

I have a "bad" feeling about these mulberries - don't think they'll live up to their promise!!
