You should be more concerned how your state Govt feels about it versus what our opinions might be. In some states it is illegal to propagate certain varieties of honey suckle(there are many types).

Also, I'm not trying to bust your chops here, but when you say its "pretty much everywhere" that is an indicator of it being invasive.

Again don't get me wrong, I actually consider ***anese honeysuckle a wildlife asset on my property, especially for deer. In my area, there are places you could walk every day for a week and not find one sprig of ***anese honeysuckle and in other areas its very common.

There is a lot of respected biologist that readily admit ***anese honeysuckle is a highly preferred and in some cases an important browse, but I don't know of any that condone the planting of it. They do however encourage the fertilization and management of what is already growing and established.

Hope this helps, and good luck to ya.
