Comments: One of several large Amur honeysuckle growing on the ridge between the Virginia Tech Duck Pond and President's House. Not sure if these were intentionally planted or seeded in on their own. The immediate area around this tree has become very overgrown with invasive plants in vines over the last decade. Tree is in good health, but it is at risk of being invaded by English ivy. Trunk circumference was measured 1' above ground line.
