Boreal Beauty Haskap (Honeyberry)

The Eden Raspberry is a thornless, mid-season producing plant that is vigorous and consistently high-yielding. The berries are some of the largest on the market, and are firm, bright and sweet.

The Eden Raspberry is a fast-growing floricane. This means that raspberries will not grow on canes the year they first grow. The mature canes they do grow on, however, produce more berries than primocane varieties.

Boreal Beauty Haskap produces sweet/tart berries that have a great flavour. The flavour of Haskaps is generally described as a cross between a blueberry and a raspberry. Boreal Beast Haskaps are well suited to fresh eating, freezing, baking, and preserves.

The berries are heavy, firm, and have a great branch hold. They are firm enough to withstand mechanical harvesting.

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.

Boreal Beauty Haskap is a late-pollinating variety that pairs well with Boreal Beast.
