Any suggestions on a good repotting/root work time? Since their flowering period is later I think I should treat it more like a normal deciduous and repot in the early spring. Being a fast growing vine I think I should be fine doing some major cutting back down the road.
Any root disruption, I have done in spring/late winter.
Be careful, Lonicera in the wild will kill off competing “leaders”.. so I assume this happens in pots, too.
But overall, they have been seen to withstand SUBSTANTIAL abuse.
Seems like your “thinking” process is arranged correctly.
