Haskap (Honeyberry) - Strawberry Sensation

An early season haskap from Berries Unlimited that has a sweet/tart flavour with an aftertaste of alpine strawberries.. It is an attractive bush with dense, strong branches. The berries can be used for fresh eating, preserves or frozen. 

Haskaps, also known as honeyberries, are a hardy cross between a honeysuckle and a blueberry. Haskap are hardy to -47ºC and their blossoms can tolerate a frost of -7ºC without damage. Haskap berries take about 5-10 days after they turn colour to become fully ripe. They tolerate a wide range of soil acidity, but prefer well draining soil (plant on hill or berm if poor draining soil). Requires another haskap/honeyberry that flowers at the same time to bear fruit.
