Indigo Treat Haskap (Honeyberry) vs Lowbush Cranberry
Viburnum edule
Lonicera caerulea Indigo Treat
SOLD OUT
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Lowbush Cranberry is a short, deciduous shrub native to North America. Its white flowers bear sour but edible fruit that ripens to a brilliant red in fall. Lowbush Cranberry's small size makes it suitable for urban use; buyers will also find it useful if trying to reclaim land back to its original species or when landscaping with native species in damp conditions.
Indigo Treat has fruit similar in size and firmness to their Tundra variety, making it suitable for commercial production or your home garden.
Indigo Treat, like the Borealis Haskap, does not self-pollinate well. We recommend another variety, such as Honeybee or Berry Blue Honeyberry, be planted at a minimum 1:8 ratio with it to boost fruit production. Many experts suggest the highest Haskap yield comes from fields planted with the most varieties.
Due to stronger interest in newer cultivars, 2015 will be our last year selling Indigo Treat.
