Haskaps/Honeyberries

Posted by fruitnflowers 3 (My Page) on

I have been trying to locate a nursery in Canada that sells all the different varieties of haskaps and honeyberries. I've found a few places but they only sell a couple varieties and its a shame to order from different places considering the shipping costs. So does anyone have any leads for me???
I'd also like to hear your opinion of the diff varieties as the more I read the more varied the opinions are. I'm interested in a variety that's suitable for dehydrating. Some jam would be nice too! And of course, fresh eating.

I think you will find that no one Nursery will carry all the varieties because they each get a license to grow whatever they can sell in their area.
You really only need a couple of good plants and I would recommend Tundra and Borealis as they are quite superior to the others although Berry Blue and Blue Belle are comon and produce quickly. Check some of the Haskap and Honeysuckle links from my blog. Good luck. They are a fruit with a difference and some folks do not like the tartness of some of the varieties.

I have Berry Blue and Blue Belle. They produced the second year. They have no taste, no matter how ripe.
