We have Honey bee, Borealis and Boreal Blizzard bushes here in Ontario. They've taken off and done just lovely. I'd certainly like to propagate from all of them for more bushes in the future!
How did your cuttings turn out? They do very well if you remove the bottom leaves, scratch the bottom and the lower branch nodes that you removed the leaves from. You don't need rooting hormone for these plants, but I use it because I have it. I have great success rooting them in a mostly shaded area for a few weeks then moving them into a more sunny spot. Just FYI, you can collect seeds from one of the berries, germinate them (as you would a blueberry) and pot them up. You can take a couple of the seedlings as they grow out and plant them in that area, they will pollinate your currently plant.
Hello Rick, I got one planted up from the three. Thanks for the tips! I did learn later to strip a bit, which would have helped my other two. Will do more this year. Thanks for visiting
April 2021, I planted Honeybee, Aurora, Blizzard, Beauty & Beast haskap plants and they are growing from the 4-inch pots shipped from Jung. These were selected based upon the ripening date to have steady berries and to overlap pollination. I'm starting to build up mulch around them due to summer drought conditions, haskap actually are doing better than blueberries.
I have heard of most of those varieties from my seed company. Sounds like your 4 varieties are performing great. I do hope my plants grow a bit larger. Thank you for visiting. Take care!
We moved our four or five about ten year old haskap bushes into our fenceline for birds to eat. When we ordered the seedlings from the mainland we did not know they needed cross pollination. We then found native ones around us and thought they would cross pollinate with them. They do produce fruit, but fruit is very small. They ripen early. They are on flower now. Birds love them.
I like the taste a lot of the haskap berries. So you don't harvest for yourselves. My berries are small also though I see others have much larger ones. Hope all is wonderful 🤗
I didn't realise that you needed two different varieties either, I purchased two Siberian plants, but today, I managed to find one of a variety called Bee. So can't wait until next year to see what crops I get. Good luck with your bushes
We thought our honey berries died after the first winter. Some berry bush fertilizer and water and mulch and the look pretty good the second year. No flowers yet.
I take cuttings from my blueberries and raspberries this way, and they do well. Berries are usually easy to propagate, so I'm thinking yours will do great! I grow a lot of different berries, but the Haskap is one I haven't tried. From what I've read and been told, they need a cold winter and probably wouldn't appreciate our super hot, dry summers. Knowing me, I'll probably give them a try at some point though because they sound delicious, and why not? 😊 OMG - your wild blueberry field is amazing!!!! ❤ And I love the natural look of your property - gorgeous!
Never heard of these. I like how you'll leave area uncultivated. I need to start trying taking cuttings, i love how propagating can save a ton of money. Cheers Greta 🌱👍
I hope the cuttings take. I would like to have a lot more of these around. Nice to add more edible perennials for free. I need to do same with mu current bushes.
Oh very nice hopefully they take really well I’m hoping to do the same with my dwarf blueberry plant. Weather looks much better 👍, happy gardening, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦
Boreal Beauty & Boreal Beast (easy to remember) flower at the same time so they are great pollination partners. The bushes have an upright form and they each produce a large relatively sweet fruit. I’m really enjoying mine. I have a few other varieties but it’s those that I’m most active in rooting cuttings & propagating.this year. Since they are free and the bushes have the same form each planting pot can contain one of each variety. A compatible pollinator will always be nearby. 8:04
Oh do you think blueberries are compatible pollinators? If so I have no worries then 😅. They are everywhere on my property. Thanks for the tips on the two Boreal. Those are ones I saw on Veseys. Thanks so much! Hope you're having a great day
I bought some potted hascaps. I haven’t planted them yet. I don’t remember their names. But I’m looking forward to, one day, having some hascap berries to eat.
I have a few I planted in the front of the house. This spring I discovered Lonicera canadensis - American Fly Honeysuckle growing in the back... Why do plants with the Latin name "canadensis" almost always get the English name "American"???
Hello, yes, I have one that I planted. I will show an update. Two I didn't think were rooting well at the time. I've since been told I should have left them they would have. 🤪 I'm taking more cuttings. Thank you!
I have Aurora, Honeybee, NIMFA, Onni, Rebecca, Vostorg and Boreal Beauty. Far the best to my taste is Aurora. Hooneybee produces more but is a bit tart compared to Aurora. Jugana should be sweet but we did not get crop yet last summer and same applies to Boreal Beauty. Rebecca has big berries but shape of the bush is not good and berries tend to ripen slowly. Vostorg, nimfa and otto taste quite ok. vostorg is early and large byt the yield not so great.
Wow you have a Haskap forest!! How wonderful. I do believe I have the Aurora, but not sure. Though you have confirmed they taste nice as do mine. Thanks for all the information. I've not heard of some of these. Have a great week and thank you for visiting 👋 😊
Hey Miss Greta...I should have the name of that plant...pretty sure we bought the same one at the same place and i think i have the card here somewhere with the name. I'll message you.
Hello. I will show an update of the one I planted. 2 of the cuttings I didn't think took. I have since learned I should have let them be as they would take. Ah well haha. I'm taking more cuttings also. Thank you.
I don't think I have much of a root on them yet. 😕 I've been forgetting to water them but still I would expect to see roots showing by now. They are still firm.
Hi Michael. When haskaps 1st turn their dark purple they look ripe to pick but they're not. They are still green inside and sour. You leave them for a week or two more. Then they are sweet not sour.
We have Honey bee, Borealis and Boreal Blizzard bushes here in Ontario. They've taken off and done just lovely. I'd certainly like to propagate from all of them for more bushes in the future!
Lovely varieties you have. I have to Google the Honey Bee one. Thanks for visiting!
Picking blues, gems and tundras today!
Lovely ❤️. I'll check out those varieties. Thank you

Yes I do hope they take. I'm not always successful 🤣. The weather is a lot nicer.😀👍. Take care Ali

you did a great job on this video. I have three varieties now second year. Borealis,
Aurora , and
Berry blue by Windmill Company.
Thank you, and thanks for visiting. The first two tou have I have seen but not the Berry Blue. They are a lovely berry aren't they.
Oooo! I've not ever heard of these! They sound really awesome! I'll have to see if they could live in my zone 🖤
I wish my berries would grow a bit larger as I see they do in other regions. They are tasty though 😀. Take care
Aurora Haskap is my preferred in Boise, ID. I pollinate with Honey bee.
I hope to increase my bushes bit by bit. I think mine must be the Aurora as theybare very sweet. Have a great week
The 3 Boreal varieties the I planted 6 years ago are doing well and producing lots of berries.
Nice! I'll check out the Boreal variety, thank you
I bought some potted hascaps. I haven’t planted them yet. I don’t remember their names. But I’m looking forward to, one day, having some hascap berries to eat.
I'm glad I purchased my haskap. Always nice to have some easy perennials 😀
Two different varieties I hope
Always great to make new plants for free
It really is!
How exciting ❤
Hi Joyce 👋 😀. Hope all is great with you
I'm skeptical about the need for cross pollination. But if it can cross with bush honeysuckle, there's lots of that growing in Newfoundland.
I think that is Diervilla lonicera, so a different family.
Ya I don't really know just from what it says and what you read on haskaps.
If uou have an early season Haskaps try: Indigo Gem or Auroria. If you have late season Haskaps try: Beast, Beauty, and Blizzard.
Thank you for the information. 😀👍
Haskaps grow abundantly in the Yukon!
I hope I can propagate them ok. Great to add more perennial edibles
@gretasgarden I'm sure, you are blessed with a green thumb 👍
👍👍👍
Hi Ronald. Thank you 🙂
I have a few I planted in the front of the house. This spring I discovered Lonicera canadensis - American Fly Honeysuckle growing in the back... Why do plants with the Latin name "canadensis" almost always get the English name "American"???
It's always nice to add more edible perennials. That's a really good point re Canadensis 🤔 . I never noticed before.
Hi Greta, any update on the haskap cuttings? Did they root successfully? Thanks!
Hello, yes, I have one that I planted. I will show an update. Two I didn't think were rooting well at the time. I've since been told I should have left them they would have. 🤪 I'm taking more cuttings. Thank you!
I have Aurora, Honeybee, NIMFA, Onni, Rebecca, Vostorg and Boreal Beauty. Far the best to my taste is Aurora. Hooneybee produces more but is a bit tart compared to Aurora. Jugana should be sweet but we did not get crop yet last summer and same applies to Boreal Beauty. Rebecca has big berries but shape of the bush is not good and berries tend to ripen slowly. Vostorg, nimfa and otto taste quite ok. vostorg is early and large byt the yield not so great.
Wow you have a Haskap forest!! How wonderful. I do believe I have the Aurora, but not sure. Though you have confirmed they taste nice as do mine. Thanks for all the information. I've not heard of some of these. Have a great week and thank you for visiting 👋 😊
Good video
👋😀 Thank you
I don’t think I know these 🥴but looks like you will get lots of berries ☺️take care 🌸x
Thank you Diana 🙂
Hey Miss Greta...I should have the name of that plant...pretty sure we bought the same one at the same place and i think i have the card here somewhere with the name. I'll message you.
Awesome Patsy! I'm sure I saved and then hide it away somewhere I'll find in 5 yrs time 🤣. Does tours produce the berries?
no...not since the first year i bought it...i guess it got pollinated at the garden center but not since i brought it home
Is there a follow up video to this?
Hello. I will show an update of the one I planted. 2 of the cuttings I didn't think took. I have since learned I should have let them be as they would take. Ah well haha. I'm taking more cuttings also. Thank you.
can it pollinate with black berry and blue berry ?
I have read that those berries don't support their pollination, but it is difficult to find information on this.
How did you make out with your cuttings? Im trying to propagate these with no luck
I don't think I have much of a root on them yet. 😕 I've been forgetting to water them but still I would expect to see roots showing by now. They are still firm.
Is it true that haskaps are quite sour?
Hi Michael. When haskaps 1st turn their dark purple they look ripe to pick but they're not. They are still green inside and sour. You leave them for a week or two more. Then they are sweet not sour.
@@gretasgarden thanks...I've thought of growing them although we have a lot of berries already
👍👍👍
Thank you Michael 🙂
