Haskap/Fly Honeysuckle

Post image

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

Haskaps are my favourite plant. Started with ~8 little $3 sprigs....most of them are a different variety.

The Aurora variety is the sweetest. I am in zone 3b, planted on the north side of my property - other than watering the first year, and some weeding the first two years - they have grown absolutely excellent, lots of berries in June.

Where did you get them from that cheaply?

Local nursery sold them in a plant sale.
