A very attractive, compact and spreading shrub, Blue Moon ™ Honeyberry features soft, dark green, velvety foliage and bears good crops of large, tasty, dark blue fruit.
Boreal Beauty is especially choice for growers looking to harvest large, high quality, flavorsome berries; because of its strong, upright branching, it is well suited for mechanical harvesting. This variety has the potential to produce up to ten pounds of berries upon full maturity.
An excellent pollinizer variety that starts fruiting at a very early age and holds onto its fruit better than most varieties. The fruit is slightly more tart than Borealis, but not as tart as its Russian ancestors. Plants are very vigorous and regularly produce fruit in their second year after planting.
From the Russian Far East, Blue Pacific Honeyberry ™ is a special variety prized for its attractive spreading form, light green foliage, and good crops of large, dark blue, tasty berries.
More Info
Honeyberries are a very hardy and unique small shrub related to Honeysuckle but with sweet and tasty fruit. Native to Eastern Siberia, the Russian Far East, and Northern Japan, they are valued for their tasty, blueberry-like fruit. They are also extremely early ripening, often two weeks before strawberries. And finally, they are exceptionally hardy handling temperatures to minus 40 degrees F., or below. They are great for fresh eating, juicing, and preserves.
Late Blooming Honeyberry Varieties
These varieties bloom up to 2 months later in the NW region than the early blooming varieties. Later blooming means that more bees and other insects are available for pollination and fruit set is significantly better. These varieties are also good for east of the Cascade Mountains, and other colder regions of the US.
