| That's what I think it is, in which case it is neither a tree (as can also been seen in the picture) nor a desirable plant (in eastern North America, where multiple species of shrubby honeysuckles are weeds). |

| This is a close up of the flowers, someone asked if it was being overgrown with vines.. no they are little dead branches from the same plant. If this is a weed in eastern North America it must be very beautiful there. |

| Does look like one of the shrub honeysuckles. |

| Perhaps Lonicera fragrantissima? |
Here is a link that might be useful: L. fragrantissima

| No, it's not L fragrantissima. That flowers in the winter on bare branches. Looks nearer to L tatarica but seems rather a pale pink. |
