Removing Invasive Honeysuckle & Transplanting Perennials

For 30 overgrown honeysuckles (15+ feet) on a golf-course lot: chainsaw removal is fastest/cheapest. Backyard has ample tree cover (maple, oak, evergreen) for ball protection. Stump-grind or treat regrowth.

Hostas and daylilies: transplant late fall after dormancy. Easiest to locate when leafed out, but least stressful when growth slows.
