How to Choose and Grow the Haskap Berry That's Right for You and Your Property!

[@smhollanshead]

This is the best Haskap video on youtube. Thank you for your Haskap expertise!

It would be interesting to know the 6 varieties you didn't like too! I have Aurora, Borealis, Beauty and Blizzard so far, and hope to add a few more varieties to my new food forest next year.

I was wondering which ones he didn't like and why.

[@markpottle5255]

All I can find in my area is a "Honey Bee" variety which I'm wondering Now, if it was one of the "bad ones" he took out..

[@buzzyhardwood2949]

Excellent info. Growing mostly Tundra and Borealis near Helena, MT. Good growth choking out grass on a raised hugekculture bed. Fair production. Robins love them. Great early bumblebee nectar source. Not bothered by near -40F two winters in a row..I have a couple of pollinators on the same mound and they seem to have improved production as the two pollinators are six years old and neglected or accidentally cut back four years ago can’t remember the variety.. Kudos to the U. Of Saskatchewan for all their work on developing productive berries for cold climates. Their prairie cherries series are thriving here.

What a well spoken and intelligent well-rounded discussion on Haskap Basics. You could learn as much in 10 minutes from this guy as I did in 10 years from others. He doesn't speak in riddles! My only other commment? NET THEM. lol. A flock of starlings or cedar waxwings will come in one year and wipe you out.

Fabulous information, appreciated the video.

[@MistyMeadowsPermacultureFarm]

Cool, thanks for the info. We have Indigo Gem, Aurora and Beauty. Prolific and rarely have problems with pests and disease. It took up to four years for some shrubs to really start pumping out fruit. We are picking every day now. Plenty to dehydrate and freeze for winter.

What zone are you in?

@@MistyMeadowsPermacultureFarm thanks. Videos got me all excited for these berry bushes and turns out its a northern thing LOL. I am in 7B/8A border in Texas. No honeyberries for me. :(

Thanks for sharing! I’ve got a few different varieties in a small backyard section of my urban house. I think they’d do better in my front yard with more sun exposure. I may a few this fall. I have noticed that my Aurora’s have been starting to send runners & a few little plants. I’ve only had a few berries in the last 3 years because they are quite crowded. I’ve put netting over the ones with berries & hope to save them from birds. We have a lot of deer pressure in our town & so far they haven’t bothered them. They do like tomatoes, potato plants & lots of other garden produce, though!

[@lwjenson]

Thanks for this video! I planted 3 varieties this spring. We will see how they do with the hot weather I get in my climate. As I establish my food forest more I probably will add more varieties. Thanks for the taste and growing profiles!

[@JustSusan]

Excellent. I planted Auroras. 👍

[@beethistlewinery6682]

What did you plant as their companion for pollination?

[@haskapalaska3988]

Great video! May I ask what you fertilize with?

[@DeeSixHomestead]

Great video! Didn't know 795 existed! Love the info on growth habit, fruit quality, and more! Did they put down geocloth fabric before the mulch? Thoughts on growing haskaps in a slightly raised bed with regular watering?

[@maryannchilders2984]

Great info 👍

[@pfv1247]

How do you keep the birds off the berries?

[@unknown-ql1fk]

Where do i buy the plants? Lowes sells some every now and then bit its "hit or miss"

[@pfv1247]

I'm so lucky to have 6 auroras, 2 tundras, 2 blizzard, 1 beauty, and 1 beast. I would like 3 more blizzards.

[@charlesdevier8203]

Mid-Missouri, USA grow zone 6A. I also have Aurora, Borealis, Beauty and Blizzard Haskaps. They are in their 2 production year and really struggle in our 100 degree F weather. Next year, I will install a 40 % sun shade which I think will help them. Thanks for the information. Our blueberries are doing much better than the Haskaps.

[@howardfowler2255]

Thanks Charles for your helpful comment.Im in eastern Tenn.and wonder how you deal with late frosts with an early bloomer like Aurora and a mid bloomer like Blizzard. I'm higher in elevation than you so probably would have more trouble with late frosts than you? I'm planning on going with B.beauty and B .Blizzard asy first attempt at growing haskaps.Wish you happy harvests next year in Missouri!

[@Hymnstreams]

Does aurora and Blizzard cross pollinate each other?

[@thehazelnutspread]

You forgot to put in the links to this fabulous farm

[@Mom2MrBabyHaikin]

I'd love to talk to you, but I'm in US... I need help about pruning & protection from bugs/worms who leave holes in leaves or eat 1/2 berry, leave a the other for us. What do I do that's more organic vs artificial...?

[@leilawamsley5381]

Can growing in Australia?

[@РусланСергеич-р3н]

Бакчарские сорта из Сибири тоже очень вкусные! Близзард вкуснее всех канадцев!

[@spear4food636]

What were the Haskap varieties you didn’t like please?
