Thriving honeysuckle planted about 5 years ago- very well established. It struggled to flower last few years I think it was diseased.
I pruned it back hard this year and worried that late frosts caught it.
It is now bare. I have given it fish,blood,bones mix and tried to remove nearby plants.
Do I accept no growth this year or is it dead and needs replacing?

it is still bare. Remaining branches look very dead , grey colour , twiggy?
Usually when I cut back honeysuckle, even to the ground (hard back) I find that it springs back in no time and thicker too. When a plant is damaged it trys to repair its self in the same way.
