Aurora Honeyberry Plant
Description
The Aurora Honeyberry is setting the standard for freshly eaten honeyberries!
Honeyberries or sometimes, referred to as Haskap are elongated, deep, blue-colored berries, similar in size and flavor to wild blueberries. Aurora has a higher sugar content than other varieties – making it a tasty treat early in the growing season. Berries are easy to pick – and after a few years, expect to harvest up to 10lbs on each mature plant!
Flowers of the Aurora Honeyberries bloom mid-to-late season, around April and the harvest window is mid-season around mid-June to mid-July. This perennial shrub has a vigorous, upright growth habit and is ideal for cooler regions.
This cold-hardy berry plant requires about 1,000-1,200 chill hours. Plant honeyberries in rich soil, with a pH between 5-7. For this specimen to produce, it’ll need a different honeyberry plant that blooms around the same time to pollinate it.
Add this unique fruit to your garden this season and enjoy something you can’t find at the grocery store!
