Honeysuckle?

[Thomasc19]

I have two of these bushes on a field edge on my property in Pennsylvania - Bush honeysuckle? Want to confirm before I kill it

The bush honeysuckle we have in MN and WI does not look like that at all.

I've never seen a confirmed BHS so that's what first came to mind when I saw this with its red berries - hopefully someone can have a better guess than me

Not honeysuckle. Looks like a dogwood.

I'm 99% sure that's not bush honeysuckle. Or at least not the bush honeysuckle that is found around here.

Pin cherries?

Asian Bush Honeysuckle, an invasive. Or, that's my guess.

Cut a stem open. If it's hollow, it may be bush honeysuckle. I don't think it is however. The bark doesn't look right.

Yeah that bark is nowhere near what our BHS looks like. Looks like cherry bark so I Google the aforementioned pin cherry and looks close.

I agree with the masses, does not look like any BH I has seen before.

Not BH.

Clearly, Native Hunter hasn't seen this thread

Once he does, he will identify and end the thread

With just a pic of the bark, PictureThis said common buckthorn. The berries on all the buckthorn i've seen has longer peduncles though and usually smaller looking purple fruit.

I think you may be right.

You guys are hilarious. I would concur with Common Winterberry. Also, I would agree that a good test for bush honeysuckle is to look for the hollow stem.
