I've purchased Honeyberries and Saskatoons from their website. These people are wonderful to deal with. I'm very happy with my plants. Everyone Honeyberry they sent me has been growing very well.

Great info! I'm growing several Canadian varieties in my Dutch garden :)

Do these berries do well in wet ground?

[@jenniferlewis282]

Great information thank you

[@raincoast9010]

Have you heard anything about these haskaps not doing very well in zone 6 and above? Another youtube channel did a video about being in zone 6 and talked about warm fall which caused a growth restart which then was winter killed so no berries on those dead tips next year. I am in zone 8. Thank you.

Do tundra and borealis cross polinate well?

[@jannespot]

I think I agree with most of what you say but we have discovered that the Borealis really ripens at least ten days later than the Tundra. We start picking the Indigo's first, after that the Tundra and then the Borealis and the Aurora. But we do use the kiddy pools under the bush when picking. That way we don't lose so many. Especially the Indigo and Tundra are easy droppers. It's true they have a long shelf life. We experimented with them. Kept them in the fridge for one month with no deterioration and for two months when were dried out a bit but still excellently edible.

In your experience, wich on is more sweet? Tundra or Borealis?

[@jannespot]

That question is rather hard to answer. There is a different sweetness with each of the haskaps. Indigo are pleasant, Tundra seems sweeter, but different. A bit drier. Borealis is juicier and differently sweet. But with Borealis you really really have to wait until they are ripe. I think that may be the reason they are not suitable for commercial production. Not only because of the slightly open scar, but mainly because the window for picking becomes smaller. Probably a week before they get soft. Aurora is good for two weeks before they get soft. In fact they are all different berries. We have about 4 acres of all of them and recently planted some of the newer ones but I think we may continue expanding with the Aurora, which for us was game changer. I don't think I would want them any sweeter. For the home gardener I would suggest Aurora and Borealis as my first pick. If you really want a longer picking season you add an Indigo. Not the high one, but the lower variety. I forget which is which. Gem or Treat

I'm worried my summers may be too hot . I read they dont like temperatures over 85 . Should I use north slope or ?

[@СолнечныйПарус-р7щ]

Yes, you should. Plant in a shady spot, grows very well under trees. Do not forget to water in hot weather - in the evening. Even after harvest.

Замульчируйте околоствольные круги крупной стружкой, пшеничной соломой или сухой травой. Слой мульчи около 10-15 сантиметров. У нас на юге Украины температура 35-45 градусов по Цельсию.. Так спасаем эту ягоду

[@thehoneyberryfarm8610]

Over 40 named varieties!

[@aipalapala]

Do You know if the leaves are edible?

[@РусланСергеич-р3н]

Листья заготавливают во время цветения, сушат не на солнце обязательно и использовать можно в течение года в лечебных отварах, также полезна и кора, её заготавливают в конце зимы

[@adrianvasile8983]
