Lonicera caerulea

Small dark blue oval fruit, very high in antioxidants, ripens in June around or just before strawberries. Productive plants bear at a young age with proper pollination. Ten pounds of fruit per plant is possible after a few years. Adaptable to most soils. Fruits best in full sun, but tolerates part shade. Leaves may show signs of sunburn as season progresses. Plant at least two for pollination. Space 4–6' apart. Shallow roots benefit from a good layer of mulch. Extremely hardy, low maintenance and disease free. Z2.

Additional Information

Honeyberry

Also called Haskap or Edible Honeysuckle. Our Canadian neighbors are crazy about haskaps, ramping up commercial U-pick orchards, exporting fruit to Japan, and making fun treats like honeyberry jam and ice cream. Medium-sized fruiting shrub is somewhat similar in bush and berry to our native highbush blueberry. In the Japanese Ainu language, haskap means ‘lots of little things on top of the branches.’ Native to Siberia and the Kuril Islands.
