Setting the standard for freshly eaten honeyberries!

Honeyberries, also known as Haskap, are elongated, deep blue berries that resemble wild blueberries in size and taste. The Aurora variety boasts a higher sugar content than others, offering a deliciously sweet early-season treat. These berries are easy to pick, and mature plants can yield up to 10 lbs of fruit each after a few years.

The Aurora Honeyberry’s flowers bloom from mid to late season, typically around April, with a harvest period in mid-season from mid-June to mid-July. This perennial shrub grows vigorously and upright, making it well-suited for cooler climates.

This berry plant is cold-hardy, needing approximately 1,000-1,200 chill hours to thrive. Plant honeyberries in nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 5-7. To successfully produce fruit, Aurora requires cross-pollination from another honeyberry plant flowering at the same time.

Introduce this distinctive fruit to your garden this season and enjoy a unique treat that’s not typically found in grocery stores!
