The amur honeysuckle is showing a lot of activity compared to that of the surrounding vegetation. The growing leaves seem to be weathering the cold temperatures well because I did not spot any that were damaged. There are still large areas of the plants that are showing slower growth compared to other areas, like development is done in groupings as opposed to development as a whole. Amur honeysuckle-1-3 still had breaking leaf buds while the other areas showed full leaf out. The smallest of the observed amur honeysuckle-4 showed the least in development diversity stages. The entire plant of 4 develops as a whole. The most interesting observation I made was on plant 3. The right side of the plant shares space with another unobserved amur honeysuckle and it is the right side that shows the slowest development in growth. Weather: 49 degrees Fahrenheit, generally overcast. The average weather for the week has been mostly cooler in the mid 30’s. On the 7th there was a 0.2 inches of perception. Amur Honeysuckle-3 (Lonicera maackii) whole plant to show the left side developing at a faster rate than that on the right side on 3/10/18. See the bright greens of full leaf out and increasing leaf size on the leaf that is lacking on the right which still has bursting buds. (photo taken by Karissa Aly).
