How to Grow Haskap Berries: Taking haskap berry Cuttings

Haskap berries are also known as honeyberries. These delicious berries are surprisingly easy to grow, especially compared to their more well-known cousin the blueberry. Today, I wanted to talk a bit more about propagating haskap berries and how to take haskap berry cuttings!

When did you take your cuttings? After the fruit was picked or while the fruit was ripening? What was your success rate doing your cuttings this way?

[@rubyredcrafts]

That's brilliant! I have 2 honeyberry bushes at the mo.Hopefully I'll have more next year thanks to your great tips 👍

Honey berry i have nerver seen such plant ,lt is amezing

[@Skillnadens]

It really is! 😊

[@bhut1571]

Oh thanks. We only have two bushes but got lots of berries until last year when a type of folding leaf caterpiller found our plants. They the birds ate the rest!. This year I used a bacterium called thuringiensis and it controlled the caterpillers. I'm going to start more plants as you suggested so we can also feed the birds! Cheers from Northen Ontario.

We have 12 Haskapp shrubs and really enjoy them. They can be tart but are nutritionally superior to blueberries and are SO easy to grow(unlike the blueberries i have tried to grow many times over). I want to propagate some for my brother and so I really appreciate your beautiful video! Thank you.

[@sherreenations2964]

I have heard about those. I want to grow them. It was great to know u can do cutting and very easy as well. Thank you Sarah

[@Skillnadens]

You are so welcome! I´m glad it was helpful! 😊

[@NewMindGarden]

Absolutely amazing.. 👍👍

[@Skillnadens]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@karenmerhalski9406]

I have never heard of the honey berry, I will have to check these out and see if they will grow in my zone. I live in Maine, Zone 5. :)

[@Skillnadens]

You should!😊😊😊

[@bhut1571]

They grow well in Northern Ontario where our zone is 3. In fact there are commercial fields here. All the best.

[@CaliDawn]

Thank you. What a valuable video. We have two bushes. Aurora and a borealis, and they are delicious and I want to have more to plant in our food forest.

[@buckaroobonzai2909]

I have been told that basically hilling the base of a honeyberry much like one would do to a potato is a good way to propegate more since honeyberries tend to have low branches.

[@leeebler9846]

thank you, Sara. I just bought my first honey berry last spring. very helpful.

[@Skillnadens]

That's great! You are so welcome!😊

[@riley8429]

Hope I’m not too late for this season for you man but you’ll need another one or a different species to pollinate it for fruit. Good luck!

[@davidgunnarsson5524]

@@riley8429 Some will self pollinate, but If you have diffrent varaites the harvest will increase

[@vaisnava]

I love your tempo and explanations. Thank you.

[@thezenfarmer]

Thanks so much. I’ve tried four times so far and only had one plant grow roots. I’m going to try again, thanks to your video. Can I ask a few questions please. Do you need to cut the stems in a specific way? How wet do you keep the cuttings? Why do you put them along the edges of the pot? Do you use rooting hormone? Thanks again. I really want to master this skill.

[@Skillnadens]

So nice of you!

[@rubygray7749]

When they are planted next to the edge of the pot, there is better drainage so they don't get waterlogged and die off. As long as they are kept moist enough! You should cut just below a leaf node, and remove the lower leaves.

[@AnneluvsKatz]

Thank you!

[@yurivain]

Beautiful video of you beautiful garden! You are very talented! Do you fertilize your haskap? Thank you!

[@henysuroboyo2309]

I have 4 plants (2 diferrent ras ) and it’s been 2 years, and so far they do not give fruits. I don’t know why ??.

[@joannathesinger770]

What varieties are they? They have to be cross-pollinated with a variety that has the same bloom time or you won't get fruit.

[@Skillnadens]

I'm growing these varieties in my garden: Borealis (Canada) Honeybee (Canada) Kalinka Docz Velikan Strezhevchanka Jugana Eisbär Anja Blue Rocket Best of luck!

Når på året tar du stiklinger ? 🌞😍

[@peterwhite9261]

Do they taste like blueberries?

[@Skillnadens]

The taste has been described as a cross between a blueberry, blackberry and raspberry. I would agree. You should try it! 😊😊😊

[@peterwhite9261]

@@Skillnadens Thank you. I will try them as soon I as I see them. I don't see them in the market here but I will ask around.
