Hi to all, we have a honeysuckle growing on the front wall of my house, which is south facing. Every spring it grows luxuriant foliage and looks green and healthy. However, at the same time every year, just as it is coming into bud, the whole plant starts shedding its leaves, looks as if it has very bad mildew and finally appears to be dead! When this happens I cut it back. It then regrows with lovely green foliage once again and stays like this for the rest of the summer.
Does anyone know the reason why it does this every year and perhaps give me some advice as to how to remedy it? Many thanks.
