Description
Sweet, tangy, and unique!
Native to parts of Siberia, these plants excel in northern gardens. The fruit of honeyberries or sometimes referred to as haskaps have flavor comparable to wild blueberries with a hint of currant and ripens two weeks earlier than strawberries.
Honeyberries can be eaten fresh, but these berries truly shine when made into tasty jam. Plants have small, cream-colored flowers in spring and attractive flat-green leaves through summer. Berry Blue™ Honeyberries ripen late May, early June. These are cold-hardy and perfect for northern climates.
For this specimen to produce, it’ll need a different honeyberry plant that blooms around the same time to pollinate it.
