Lonicera morrowii, also known as Morrow's honeysuckle, is a deciduous shrub native to Japan, Korea, and Northeast China. It has oblong leaves and white to pale yellow flowers, and produces dark red berries that are poisonous to humans but frequently eaten by birds. In the United States, it is colloquially called "bush honeysuckle" and is considered an invasive species. It can hybridize with other shrubby species of Lonicera, forming the invasive hybrid L. × bella. Morrow's honeysuckle is particularly harmful to spring ephemerals and has been linked to changes in the color of cedar waxwings' wax spots. It is suspected to be allelopathic and can dominate areas of disturbed ecological succession, preventing the growth of other plants.
