How tall does native Pennsylvania honey suckle grow? Does it grow above 20 feet as a vine?

I live in the suburbs of Philly, and I want to grow honeysuckle up a trellis, but I won't do it if I find out it only gets to be like 10 feet high. The old vine we had on the house, and I can't recall what exactly it was, was capable of growing up to 40 feet...Anyone know how tall my honey suckle may get?

Yes it will grow very tall (10-20 feet) if you let it. The most common use is to allow it to grow along a trellis, fence, or other framework, but it can also be grown as a ground cover or used for erosion control.

Best bet, unless you plan on trimming it AT LEAST once a week, don't plant it!!
