Honeyberry (Haskap) – Blue Sea
$18.97
This unique and productive variety is prized for its good crops of crisp, very large, sweet and flavorful fruit. With its spreading form and soft, dark green foliage, it is also a fine ornamental for your yard or landscape.
Honeyberries, also known as Haskaps, are an up and coming fruit that looks and tastes quite like blueberries, but grows on a shrub in the honeysuckle family, so doesn’t have the same acidic requirements that blueberries do. They also ripen very early, often in June in Ontario.
