Lonicera caerulea / 'Tundra' Honeyberry

Lonicera caerulea is an uncommon fruit that should be more widely grown. Also known as Haskaps, the fruits are like oblong blueberries, but are a little more tart unless you let them ripen almost too far, then the sweetness comes out. The best thing about them is that they fruit early - before strawberries, in mid to late May, at a time when we’re all craving some fresh backyard fruit. Requires another variety for pollination. Grow in full sun in average, well-drained garden soil. Grows 4-6 feet tall with a 2-4 foot spread. Requires a second cultivar for pollination.

The 'Tundra' cultivar will cross-pollinate with our other Lonicera cultivars, 'Berry Blue', 'Indigo Gem' and 'Aurora'.
