    Depending on what kind of honeysuckle and what kind of trellis, I have to warn you that within a very few years the honeysuckle is likely to grab the trellis by the throat and twist and strangle it until you have a knotted mass of winding stems and splintered timber. You can tell I've been there, can't you? :-)

    Ah c'mon stop scaremongering :pac:;), that's only likely to happen if left unattended, with the correct care and pruning it'll be fine.
