Borealis Honeyberry Plant
Description
Abundant harvests of large berries!
The Borealis Honeyberry is quick to bear delicious fruit. Fragrant white flowers quickly give way to sweet and tart, plump berries with a taste similar to blueberries. Harvest about two weeks before strawberries. Eat them fresh, freeze them, or make a batch of luxurious preserves or fruit liqueur.
Honeyberry plants are densely foliated and have a nice upright growth habit. These unique berries are very cold-hardy, they can tolerate temperatures down to -50ºF and are a favorite in regions where the cold prohibits many fruiting plants. Borealis Honeyberries ripen in late May.
For this specimen to produce, it’ll need a different honeyberry plant that blooms around the same time to pollinate it.
