Apparently it does work, even though it isn't being applied to foliage. kMy land slopes down into the woods on three sides and those hillsides were covered in honeysuckle bushes when we first moved here. Our technique was to cut them off close to the ground with the chainsaw and then paint full-strength Round-Up on the cut stems with a paintbrush. There is very little honeysuckle left now. Bill Lee
