Jahns Prairie Gooseberry produces large, delicious red fruit.

Boreal Beast is a haskap cultivar designed to be planted with other "Boreal" cultivars.
Haskaps have a taste that is a cross between raspberry and blueberry. The berries can be used for eating fresh, baking, jams and jellies, freezing. Haskaps are high in vitamins, fibre, and anti-oxidants.
Boreal Beast is a late pollinating variety. Pair with other late pollinators to have a higher yield. Boreal Beast is a great companion variety for the Boreal Beauty Haskap.
