Haskap/Fly Honeysuckle

I’m curious if anyone here has grown this enigmatic berry, or might know of another fruit that would do well in colder climates?

I spent around a hundred bucks last year to buy two live plants. Neither survived very long. It was a super rainout early spring. A lot of mold and fungus. Was super disappointed. Had been wanting them for years.

I did get a few berries to try at least

Really! Wow, I’ve been trying to find some fruits that do well in the cold and Haskap was one of the most frequently mentioned for snowy climates.

Same. Mine arrived at the beginning of almost three straight weeks of cold rain, I cannot stress the rainout conditions enough.

Just mention so that if you go the route I did and also have bad luck, maybe you won’t be caught as off guard by their death as I was. Waste of birthday money.
