Haskap (Lonicera caerulea)
Estimated delivery between Mars 28 and Mars 31.
Haskap (Lonicera caerulea), also known as Honeyberry, is a hardy, fast-growing shrub that produces small, dark blue berries packed with nutrients. Native to cold regions of Asia, Europe, and North America, Haskap is exceptionally cold-hardy, thriving in climates as low as USDA Zone 2. The berries have a sweet-tart flavor, combining the tastes of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C, and fiber, Haskap berries offer numerous health benefits and are perfect for fresh eating, as well as making jams, jellies, sauces, and smoothies. The shrub itself is an attractive addition to gardens, with delicate, fragrant flowers in early spring followed by a bountiful berry harvest in mid-summer. Haskap is also an excellent choice for those looking to support pollinators, as it attracts bees and other beneficial insects.
