Honeyberry Bundle
The Honeyberry Bundle 4 pack is perfect if you are having a hard time trying to decide which delicious varieties to plant. This bundle includes four varieties listed below:
Borealis ™ Honeyberry produces fragrant, conical, white flowers that give way to a generous harvest of large fruit very early in the season that taste similar to blueberries.
Blue Velvet Honeyberry™ is distinguished by its compact, spreading form, attractive grayish-green, velvety foliage and its very large, sweet-tart and flavorful, medium-blue berries.
A very popular variety with Japanese Honeyberry growers, Blue Hokkaido ™ Honeyberry features an upright growth habit and very large, sweet-tart, crisp and flavorful, dark blue berries.
One of the best selections from the University of Saskatchewan’s Honeyberry breeding program, Boreal Beast features incredibly large fruits that flower late and ripen 2-3 weeks later than most varieties. Yields are so large that this variety amongst many others is being utilized as a commercial crop in Canada.
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. To deter birds, use mylar flash tape or cover plants with netting. Powdery mildew is common fungal disease that affects Honeyberry plants, but doesn’t cause significant damage.
