Tundra Haskap is sweet/tangy with a great flavour. The flavour of Haskaps is generally described as a cross between a blueberry and a raspberry. Tundra Haskaps are well suited to fresh eating, freezing, baking, and preserves. They have the firmest berries, which makes them well-suited for commercial production

For optimal fruit production, cross-pollination is required. Haskaps need to be planted with a compatible variety. Compatibility is influenced by both bloom time and genetics.

Tundra Haskap is an early-pollinating variety and pairs well with Aurora and Honey Bee.

The Trader Mulberry is a rare find. Named for the Trader family who brought the mulberry from Germany when they immigrated to the U.S. in 1982 and planted the original tree at their new homestead in North Dakota. This tree still bears fruit today! Similar to the Illinois Everbearing, but more winter hardy, this mulberry is a cross between white and red mulberry trees. This vigourous tree will produce large, sweet-tasting, virtually-seedless, black fruit throughout the entire summer and is great for fresh eating, jams, and wine. Do not plant near walkways or driveways as the berries can stain.
