Strawberry Sensation Haskap is a new cultivar from Berries Unlimited that is getting lots of attention. These haskaps have a unique flavor that range from sweet to tart with an alpine strawberry after taste. This highly productive shrub produces haskaps late season and are ideal for freezing or fresh eating.

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.

Strawberry Sensation Haskap is a late-pollinating variety and pairs well with Boreal Blizzard.

Double Delight Raspberry is known for its medium-large berries that have a sweet-tangy taste. They ripen from late summer to early fall, extending the raspberry season. Known for having larger yields, it is suitable for both home gardens and larger commercial projects. The berries are well suited to fresh eating, freezing, baking, and preserves.

Double Delight Raspberry is a primocane-fruiting variety, meaning it produces fruit on first-year canes (the current season’s growth). They are also referred to as ever-bearing or fall-bearing. Cut stalks down each winter or early spring to get higher fruit yields.

Raspberries are self-fertile, meaning they do not require cross-pollination from another variety to produce fruit
