Common Blueberry vs Borealis HaskapVaccinium myrtilloides Lonicera caerulea Borealis SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Common Blueberry isn't as large, pretty, or high yielding as the other varieties we carry. But Common Blueberry is our only blueberry that will survive in plant hardiness zones 1A to 2B. So if you happen to live in one of these zones, this is the variety for you.
Borealis Haskap is a popular variety of the hardy haskap shrub that produces delicious blue fruit. Haskaps, or honeyberries as they are sometimes called, are excellent for fresh eating and cooking. Borealis is a popular variety of haskap because of its large sweet berries. COMMON BLUEBERRY QUICK FACTSBOREALIS HASKAP QUICK FACTS
