    I planted 2 honeyberry bushes on my croft in the Isle of Lewis, NW Scotland, in 2013. Even in our challenging climate I get lots of berries every year. I have panted about 15-20 different types of soft fruit and the honeyberry performs the best.

      Barrie Crossan, that's great information. i enjoy learning what works for people in other parts of the world. If honeyberries grow on your croft, they should do well in the Rocky Mountains. What other soft fruit handles your climate? Cheers.

      Oh I live in Scotland (Fife) and had two honeyberries in my garden last 3 years, and been totally disappointed 😞 they had almost no fruits, whatever I manged to taste very tiny and bitter, any early fruit eaten by birds, but had barely any flowers and fruits. I moved them out of my fruit cage into our chicken run this years, as giving up on them...

      Sounds like they might not have been fertilised hence the small fruit? You can hand fertilise with a small soft paintbrush, of course ensuring the varieties are compatible too ; )

      You need two different varieties that pollinate around the same time, or you fill not get any fruit.

    I planted the indigo series of honey berries this year. I’m in the states - specifically the Midwest - and none of my regular greenhouses and nurseries knew what I was asking for. I ended up ordering some online. They’re quite small but I’m hopeful. I planted them in my front landscaping hoping to add some edibles to my beds while keeping them slightly more formal to trick the neighborhood people who get sassy about food in the front lawn. ☺️

      @ShannonSaundersXO 8 місяців тому +2

      @@kakown this was year two with them and they were quite small when they arrived. I’ve since seen plants twice the size at Home Depot and my local greenhouse (both locations I’d inquired about them at the year prior) they did well, they’re easily 5-6x the size as when I planted them. So I’d say they’re fast growing. However I didn’t get many berries. Just a small handful as the plants are still so young. They were quite tasty. Like a blueberry but a smidge sweeter. I don’t remember the names of the varieties off the top of my head. I ordered them from a gardens alive company I believe. Michigan bulb co? Maybe? Anyway, they were selling the two varieties in a bundle as you need the second variety for best pollination.

    Growing haskaps without netting is growing them for the birds. We are in Canada and have been growing them since 2011. Started with the Borealis and Tundra and Indigo series. Continued with Aurora and Boreal Blizzard. So far everybody's favourite is the Aurora of which we have about 200 plants. In total now we have about one and a half hectare. Season starts with Indigo followed by Tundra and Berry Blue, after which come the Aurora and Borealis.

      James Pott well my problem hasnt been birds but bunny. Chewed it right down. It has come back but slowly. Only leaves no flowers. Second year no flowers. I bought another one in May it didnt have flowers but now it does a month later. The other ones dont have any flowers So I am assuming the new bush flowers will not be berries, correct?

    • @jannespot
      @jannespot 3 роки тому +4

      We have never had that problem and we do have rabbits here, but I have heard from other people that it can be a problem. I'd say some chicken wire would take care of it. But if you have no flowers you will have no fruit I don't know how many plants you have, but you should have at least two, but we'd rather see people plant three or more. As a pollinator we started using some Berry Blues but we completely switched to Aurora and now plant mainly Aurora and use Indigo as a pollinator and also of course as the early variety. We're picking Indigo at the moment (June 20) while the Aurora is only beginning to colour. I do suspect though that the Aurora might be self pollinating. We had a field with a couple of hundred Aurora's and nothing else in proximity. Yet there was full pollination. So could they be pollinating each other?

    • @Vodovozable
      @Vodovozable 3 роки тому

    Hi Vera! Good to see you back! I am in Canada and already have hascap berry. They sell them in couples here in the same pot for pollination purposes. My bush is 15 years old and is very prolific. It ripens by the end of June here. The older the bush, the bigger the berries get. I freeze the excess in one layer in a tray and after a couple of hours put them in small plastic bags. They freeze very well that way and I use them for smoothies. Another very informative video! Cheers!

    But varieties that fall off easily maybe more convinient if you prefer to harvest them by spreading a fabric under the bushes and shaking them, thats the fastest way. But i like doing it by hand so that berries would be without any leaves and twigs, so i prefer varietie that dont fall off.

    Edible Acres told me that you can make a lot of easy, but slow, cuttings by just hilling up the main stem of the plant until the added soil reaches the next branches. So... this will cause more root growth. THen, after a season of growing like this, you can dig down a bit and take cuttings from the new rooted section. Then put the dirt back on the main plant, which should live still, and plant your new cloned plants.

    I am in Canada. I bought my first 9 plants from the University in Saskatchewan Canada in 2013. Within 2 years they became available in greenhouses locally. I bought about 18 over the years. Most had different names and characteristics. Some better for backyards gardens some better for machine picking. Some bigger or smaller. Some are less likely to fall of the plant. Big producers of early fruit. To me they taste like a mixture of blueberry, strawberry and kiwi fruit. They are excellent. I will pick this year before the end of June. I think the reason you do not find them in stores because they don't keep long fresh after being picked.

    I have had two varieties for many years. So far I have gotten berries from only one and that only a handful the years it did produce.
    Patrick of One yard revolution had the same experience and got rid of his bushes again.
    BUT I found out why.
    I got mine when research and testing was still young. The two I have flower as soon as anything can start to grow.
    Because of our wide varying temperatures in spring, fruit set is restricted by late frosts.
    For a climate like mine, it is advisable that one get a late flowering variety.
    That being said, spring this year wasn't so variable. I checked mine this morning and it looks like that one variety is going to give me a lot of berries this year.

      Same problem here. We just had a frost last week where many lost the annual vegetables they had planted. Which is why many of the old timers around here never plant their annual vegetables until "the full moon in june" (17th this year) just to be on the safe side. I would love to have an early fruit source, but don't think i could bear the heartbreak of an early bloomer getting frosted every year. Vegetables you can fleece to protect from frost, but I suppose you'd have to just fleece the berry at night so as to not restrict pollinator access, and I'm not sure I'd want to fuss with that.

      @@GrownToCook Thank you for the information. Our last (knock on wood) frost was about three weeks past yours, so we have to be especially careful here with early blooming plants, (and even 'regular blooming' plants too) but if the blossoms and small fruit are notably frost hardy they may work. Thank you for the encouragement, I will reconsider trying one.

    Excellent info. Great tip about planting about 15cm/6" below container’s soil level to promote new shoots. I think I get why. I did not understand why you were additionally advised to plant the aurora at an angle. Was that advise just for this plant (it appeared), maybe because of how its two main branches were angled already? What does that achieve and why? Simply the best video I’ve seen on them. Many thanks.

    Planting them very deep works very well. It is like reverse stool mound them. I planted mine just to the potting soil line initially but then buried each plant much deeper as I built a hugel mound around them. They REALLY loved that. This year I will be digging them up for root cuttings to expand the patch and I have very high hopes for them all. Just last night I saw that they can be air layered....I am going to try that this year

They even had some fruit on them, but after we had gone on vacation for a week, they were all gone. Now it makes sense. They probably fell off the bush and/or the birds ate them. Will definately try some more verieties, as our property has quiet wet soil.
    I really enjoy these plat portraits! Thanks again =)
