 rapid growth occurs in sun-

exposed areas

 tolerates both sun & shade,

Hideouts
  can grow to heights so high up that they then
block sunlight necessary for native plants to grow

CRIMES  have shallow root systems which steals the

available water in the soil from other plants which
have deeper roots

 vines twist and tightly wrap around the trunks,

limbs and stems of plants and trees; this cuts of
their circulation of water

 some birds are attracted to the berries of the

plant, which ultimately spreads seeds of the plant
even more

 mice are also attracted to the dense cover of this

plant; unfortunately they attract ticks that feed off
Japanese Honeysuckle taking them which carry diseases harmful to humans,
