Wanted Honeyberry plants...anyone?
Comments (1)Hey Sandy, Ok...I'm totally into fixing my yard to like a garden of eden....so are your black raspberry fruit bearing plants ? and rainer cherry trees, fruit-bearing also ? Do you have any dwarf trees (fruit-bearers) ? I'm all new to this, but I'll trade stamps for anything, I've got alot....See MoreAnyone tasted Blue Velvet, Blue Moon or Blue Sky honeyberries?
Comments (4)mk I am in zone 5 in NE Ohio. I ordered 2 blue moon and 2 blue velvet from Burnt Ridge also. Beries Unlimited also have honeyberries. The reason I went with these two varieties is that they are late blooming some we could have some pollinators. I am curious about the taste of the honeyberry. I guess that we will have to wait a year or two to find out....See MoreAnyone want to go together on ordering some haskaps/honeyberries
Comments (1)I live at the west edge of the Twin Cities. I grow 4 older cultivars, for ten years now. The site info is correct in that they do not sucker and are not invasive in that way, but they are invasive by seed in our area. Birds LOVE these berries! My bushes are netted before they turn color, and every berry is picked, whether I use it or not. Otherwise I will find them popping up in various places in the yard. Please, take heed! Every few years I cut them back severely to keep the size more manageable for netting. The species is quite variable. General taste is a mix of blueberry and grapefruit. I am very surprised the site does give any info for size or shape of the shrub, or bloom time. Obviously, the different cultivars you pick for cross pollination need to overlap their blooming season. "Tends to bleed" means you will get purple hands when you pick them. But Borealis would be my pick of the lot too. I have one cultivar who's bloom time hardly overlaps with the others. Consequently, it does not produce much fruit. I would pull it out and replace it with a Borealis if you decide to order, but only one. I could easily drive to New Brighton....See MoreAnyone growing honeyberry?
Comments (2)I've had them in my yard for about 5 years, purchased from different sources including local garden centers. They are starting to die back hard from the summer heat. I don't find the flavor all that exciting. In my yard they ripen the same time as blueberries and have none of the blue's flavor so they won't be replaced when they're gone. I have friends that live in Nova Scotia and when visiting I have tasted jams and jellies made with Haskaps ( their name for Honeyberries) and they tasted much richer and berry like up there. And the bushes look much healthier that far north....See Morecanadianplant
