Introduction to Honey Berries
Chad, the founder of the American Fig Company and Plant Fanatics, introduces honey berries as an exceptionally cold-hardy fruiting plant ideal for gardeners seeking early bloomers and fruit producers.
Characteristics of Honey Berries
Honey berries bloom early, even before the leaves appear, attracting numerous pollinators. They are some of the earliest fruiting plants in the garden, with fruit ripening by mid-April.
Culinary Uses
Honey berries are particularly noted for making excellent jam without needing added pectin, as they naturally contain it. The fruit is described as tart and flavorful.
Growing Conditions and Care
Ideal for cold climates, withstanding temperatures as low as 40°F. They do not thrive in heat, preferring shaded or dappled sunlight conditions.
They may defoliate and struggle in new environments or very hot, humid areas initially, but stabilize and produce well over time.
Plant Management and Benefits
Honey berries are not commonly targeted by birds or pests due to their growth pattern, where fruits grow more hidden inside the bush.
Chad notes that the honey berry should be a top choice for gardeners looking to diversify their fruit plants due to their low maintenance and high yield. - Розваги
I got Strawberry Sensation and Boreal Beauty last year, and they both have a ton of still-green fruit on them. Glad you mentioned that about them having heat issues. I'll go pop them into a less intensely sunny place. Thanks!
Gonna go check out all those e-books!
Thank you for the downloads. Looks like some great information for me.😊
Awesome! I really hope the information can help. Thank you for the kind words.
I’ve got honeyberry here in zone 5. They are flowering now.
I will have to cover them quickly as the birds LOVE them.
Yeah for whatever reason they really down bother ours. Maybe because there is a ton of other plants for them to pick at in the food forest
I have Boreal Blizzard, Boreal Beast, and Aurora and all are producing this year! So pumped for these
I'm attempting honey berries in east TN. They've been growing for 4 years, but no fruit production. I think the heat in summers has been keeping them from thriving. I moved them to the east side of my house to get some afternoon shade, so cross your fingers.
How it works out! Underneath the foliage of trees works great too
Love my Honeyberries in Alaska. They out produce blueberries, with better nutrient enriched berries.
And the kids love picking them right off the bush!
Awesome!!
I’ve got 7 haskaps (honey berries )here in zone 5a and they’re just starting to leaf out ! 🙂
I'm in zone 4 - 5. Shall I plant them in part shade? I really appreciate this because I like to make sure everything I plant has a purpose.
You’ll be fine planting them wherever in your zone. When you’re on the warmer side of what they like (zone 7+) they really like being under the canopy of trees.
I’m in Alaska, zone 4. Mine stay in full sun. And they thrive. Just keep the soil “moist”
That looks like a Casio Gulfman.
It is. A G-shock Gulfman. Had it for years. G-shocks are the best.
🎉🎉🎉
where did you get them? from seed, cutting, or plant. can they be planted from seed
These are from cutting. They can be planted from seed, but it will take a few years to get fruit.
Hi can u grow them in pots??
If soo , what soil ?
You can definitely grow them in pots. Just a general potting soil is fine. Make sure you get on a fertilization schedule though
Never saw these in Skyrim
