Twining Honeysuckle is a vine native to the forests of Canada and the United States.
It can often be found winding up the bark of large trees or spreading out as a ground cover where no supports are present. You will love the attractive, yellow-orange flowers with pink centers which turn into red, inedible berries.
Consider Twining Honeysuckle when trying to achieve a natural, spreading, unkempt look for your garden.
The Blue Banana Haskap is a fruit-bearing shrub that produces medium-sized oval berries that are quite sweet. Their taste is typically described as something between a raspberry and a blueberry. Its small white flowers bloom in April, with harvest time being mid-June to mid-July. The berries are juicy, and are great for fresh eating and using in preserves.
The Blue Banana Haskap, or Blue Banana Honeyberry is a cold-hardy cultivar.
Blue Banana is a late pollinating variety. Pair with other late pollinators to have a higher yield.
Blue Stuart is a great companion variety.
