Honey Bee Haskap (Honeyberry) vs Oregon GrapeLonicera caerulea Honey Bee Berberis aquifolium (Mahonia aquifolium) SOLD OUT SOLD OUT Honey Bee Haskap is a hardy deciduous shrub. Honey Bee Haskap produces tarter fruit than the Borealis and Tundra varieties, and it holds its fruit longer. This Haskap's leaves are sunburn and powdery mildew resistant. Honey Bee Haskap makes a great pollinator for Borealis, Tundra or the Indigo varieties.
Oregon Grape is an evergreen shrub native to North America, found along the Pacific coast. In spring, the bright golden-yellow flowers appear in clusters above the leaves. These flowers eventually give way to edible blue berries in late summer. While not a true grape, the berries appear grape-like due to their colouring and clustered growth. They can be eaten fresh, but the sour taste and high amounts of natural pectin make them well suited for preserves. HONEY BEE HASKAP (HONEYBERRY) QUICK FACTSOREGON GRAPE QUICK FACTS
