Common Blueberry vs Boreal Blizzard HaskapVaccinium myrtilloides Lonicera caerulea Boreal Blizzard SOLD OUT SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
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.
Boreal Blizzard Haskap has the largest and heaviest berries of any haskap cultivar we offer. Both the plant itself and its berries are robust, making mechanical harvesting more effective. The larger berries make them ideal for sale without processing, as larger berries usually sell for more. COMMON BLUEBERRY QUICK FACTSBOREAL BLIZZARD HASKAP QUICK FACTS
