Honeyberry, Haskap Berry, or Sweetberry Honeysuckle, is a deciduous shrub that can reach 4-6 ft in height, and is native to countries in the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere like Canada, Japan, Russia, and Poland. The honeysuckle is known for its edible blue berry. The plant is winter-hardy, withstanding temperatures below minus 52 degrees F. Honeysuckle is not only a delicious food source but also forms part of traditional medicine practices in East Asian countries. The berries are used in a variety of processed products like pastries, jams, juices, ice creams, and wines.
Type: Perennial shrub
Hardiness zones: 2-8
Location: Sun to part shade
Height: 180cm, 6'
Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours before planting. Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 60 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature 20-22°C (68-72°F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-60 days after the warming period. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
