Tundra Haskap (Honeyberry)

The Jewel Raspberry is one of the most popular black raspberry varieties, as it is consistently high-yielding and produces large, firm, and sweet berries. This cultivar is among one of the first raspberries to ripen each year, with berries ready for harvest in early to mid summer and is a vigorous grower.

The Jewel Raspberry is self-pollinating, and is a primocane variety meaning that it produces fruit on first years' growth. Prune stalks down each winter or early spring to get higher fruit yields and easier harvesting.

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.
