Honeyberry
Lonicera caerulea var. edulis
A unique species of Honeysuckle, Honeyberry is a very hardy, small shrub native to eastern Siberia, the Russian Far East, and northern Japan. Very early ripening, Honeyberry is valued for its sweet and tasty Blueberry-like fruit and for its exceptional hardiness, to minus 40° F. or below. Great for fresh eating, Honeyberry also makes delicious and nutritious juice and preserves. Unlike Blueberries, Honeyberries do not require acid soil. Plant two varieties for cross pollination. Our late blooming varieties are best for our Pacific Northwest growing conditions.
