I have just posted a photo story of how I did this in the Phalaenopsis section of the UK orchid forum. www.ukorchidforum.com I did it as the plant was getting too tall and was top heavy in the pot. This may help.

What have you decided to do with your hedge?

What kind of Honeysuckle is it??? Where is the Honeysuckle?? In your yard or not in your yard? If it is in your yard just clear a place on the ground water the spot push a honeysuckle vine down onto the spot you just cleared put a little dirt on about 3 inches of the vine then put a rock on that spot. Half the vine sticking out on one side and half on the other. The branch/vine will root under the rock in a few weeks...Then clip the vine off retaining the root on the piece you clip off and plant it. If it is a clipping from someone elses Honeysuckle I do not know the correct way to root from a clipping.. I have Japanese Honeysuckle it spreads and roots itself all over the back of my property. Here is a good propagation site that someone gave me. Here is a link that might be useful: Plant Propagation By Stem Cuttings

once a year.. shapren your shovel.. and just re establish the weed free zone ... come on.. you can do it .. lol .. now.. no way in the world.. i would plant in a tree this time of year ... i would .. in the pot its in now ... pot it into a much larger pot [no root disturbance].. and backfill the pot.. so it wont blow over in every wind .. and the bigger pot will keep the smaller pot cooler ... i would then plant the tree in the proper planting time for your area ... in my MI.. it april BEFORE it leafs out ... just because you buy it ... does not mean its the right time to plant it ... also.. i would never put a tree on irrigation ... after a good soaking in.. they simply dont need that much water .. once a week.. insert finger. and find out if it needs water .. might be a month, with good mulch.. before it needs to be watered again .... see link for planting and after care ... or.. just wing it.. go ahead.. plant it ... live and learn ... ive done that.. win some. lose some ... especially if you have a guarantee from the store ... ken https://sites.google.com/site/tnarboretum/Home/planting-a-tree-or-shrub
