Additional Information

Honeyberry

Also called Haskap or Edible Honeysuckle. Our Canadian neighbors are crazy about haskaps, ramping up commercial U-pick orchards, exporting fruit to Japan, and making fun treats like honeyberry jam and ice cream. Medium-sized fruiting shrub is somewhat similar in bush and berry to our native highbush blueberry. In the Japanese Ainu language, haskap means ‘lots of little things on top of the branches.’ Native to Siberia and the Kuril Islands.
