Northern Red Currant vs Blue Treasure Haskap (Honeyberry)Ribes triste Lonicera caerulea Blue Treasure SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
The Northern Red Currant is also known as the Swamp Red currant due to its preference for moist soil. As long as the soil is wet, this shrub can live in any degree of sunlight.
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. NORTHERN RED CURRANT QUICK FACTSBLUE TREASURE HASKAP (HONEYBERRY) QUICK FACTS
