About Lonicera morrowii A.Gray

Lonicera morrowii A.Gray is a deciduous shrub that grows to a height of 2–2.5 meters. It bears oblong leaves that are 4–6 cm long. This species leafs out unusually early in spring; in North America, it is commonly the first deciduous shrub to develop full foliage in March. Its flowers range in color from white to pale yellow, and it produces a dark red berry fruit 7–8 mm in diameter that holds several seeds. Though the berries are often eaten by birds, they are classified as poisonous to humans.
