A late-season cultivar, perfect for prolonging your honeyberry harvest!
Known for their oblong shape, these berries, also called Haskaps, offer a sweet yet tangy taste, reminiscent of blueberries. The Beauty variety blossoms in April, with fruits ready by June, ideal for fresh consumption, baking, and making jams, jellies, or for freezing.
It exhibits an upright and highly vigorous growth pattern, with a robust branching structure forming a dome-shaped crown, making it an outstanding selection for U-pick operations and larger-scale orchards.
This variety thrives in colder climates, needing between 1,000 and 1,200 hours of chilling. Honeyberries prefer fertile soil with a pH of 5 to 7. To ensure fruit production, pair this plant with a different honeyberry variety that flowers at a similar time, enabling effective cross-pollination.
