Lonicera caerula 'Aurora'
Zone 2-3
Haskap is the Japanese name for the Edible Blue Honeysuckle -- apparently meaning 'berry of long life and good vision'. The berries resemble large, elongated blueberries. Their flavour is a unique combination of raspberry and blueberry. Shrubs are well-behaved, pest and disease free and exceptionally hardy. Haskap are best grown in full sun and fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Important - more than one variety is needed for good berry production. The two varieties we offer are 'good together' and you will need both to have lots of berries. To find out more about this very interesting and ornamental fruiting shrub visit - www.haskap.ca.
