Honeysuckle Leaves Have Not Come Back And Are Absent Away From Center Of Plant

Question From: Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Q: My honeysuckle plant does not seem to be rebounding this spring. As you can see in the pics the leaves have not come back and as you move away from the center of the plant there are none at all. There is no browning or yellowing of leaves. I am not sure what to do or if there is anything I should be doing. Should I prune away all the vines with no leaves on them?

A: I would cut away the dead wood. Make sure it is well watered. My magic potion for plants in stress is Superthrive and Neptunes Harvest Liquid Kelp mixed on water according to package directions. Good Luck and Happy Yardening, Nancy
