Aronia Berry vs Blue Treasure Haskap (Honeyberry)Aronia melanocarpa Lonicera caerulea Blue Treasure NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Aronia Berry is native to Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States. This branching shrub forms well rooted clumps that can spread. Flowers are usually white (or pink) and they produce black fruit that some people find too astringent, hence they are also known as Black Chokeberry. People who like the taste and not the astringent tannins often blend the berries or juice in with other things.
Blue Treasure Haskap is a late season cultivar, ideal for cooler climates, and a favorite from Berries Unlimited. The berries are delectably sweet and ideal for fresh eating, but can also be made into jam, juice, and wine. ARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTSBLUE TREASURE HASKAP (HONEYBERRY) QUICK FACTS
