Not all Haskap Berries are created equal!
Rob takes us on another Haskap Berry tour and shows us that there are more varieties than most growers are familiar with, and that choosing one that is right for you and your property is easier when you're familiar with their traits.
This 795 Haskap Berry Farm in Alberta is owned and operated by Randy Begg and his wife Brenda Da Ren. They've grown several varieties.
In this video Randy shares what he's learned including a bit of inside info that will make it easier for you to not only choose the variety that suits your taste buds, but that will also abundantly thrive in your soil and region.
You can check out Randy and Brenda's berry farm at 795Haskap.ca
We challenge the headlines and cultural paradigms with a whole different kind of alternative fact: Permaculture-inspired businesses can succeed - and restore the planet. And we’ll show you how to do it.
This is the best Haskap video on youtube. Thank you for your Haskap expertise!
It would be interesting to know the 6 varieties you didn't like too! I have Aurora, Borealis, Beauty and Blizzard so far, and hope to add a few more varieties to my new food forest next year.
I was wondering which ones he didn't like and why.
All I can find in my area is a "Honey Bee" variety which I'm wondering Now, if it was one of the "bad ones" he took out..
Excellent info. Growing mostly Tundra and Borealis near Helena, MT. Good growth choking out grass on a raised hugekculture bed. Fair production. Robins love them. Great early bumblebee nectar source. Not bothered by near -40F two winters in a row..I have a couple of pollinators on the same mound and they seem to have improved production as the two pollinators are six years old and neglected or accidentally cut back four years ago can’t remember the variety.. Kudos to the U. Of Saskatchewan for all their work on developing productive berries for cold climates. Their prairie cherries series are thriving here.
What a well spoken and intelligent well-rounded discussion on Haskap Basics. You could learn as much in 10 minutes from this guy as I did in 10 years from others. He doesn't speak in riddles! My only other commment? NET THEM. lol. A flock of starlings or cedar waxwings will come in one year and wipe you out.
I'm so lucky to have 6 auroras, 2 tundras, 2 blizzard, 1 beauty, and 1 beast. I would like 3 more blizzards.
Great video! May I ask what you fertilize with?
Hi sir I want to buy honey berry bushes in India I am leaving in zone 5 how I can get we can grow from seeds
Where do i buy the plants? Lowes sells some every now and then bit its "hit or miss"
Does aurora and Blizzard cross pollinate each other?
Бакчарские сорта из Сибири тоже очень вкусные! Близзард вкуснее всех канадцев!
Great video! Didn't know 795 existed! Love the info on growth habit, fruit quality, and more!
Did they put down geocloth fabric before the mulch?
Thoughts on growing haskaps in a slightly raised bed with regular watering?
Thanks for sharing! I’ve got a few different varieties in a small backyard section of my urban house. I think they’d do better in my front yard with more sun exposure. I may a few this fall. I have noticed that my Aurora’s have been starting to send runners & a few little plants. I’ve only had a few berries in the last 3 years because they are quite crowded. I’ve put netting over the ones with berries & hope to save them from birds. We have a lot of deer pressure in our town & so far they haven’t bothered them. They do like tomatoes, potato plants & lots of other garden produce, though!
How do you keep the birds off the berries?
Cool, thanks for the info. We have Indigo Gem, Aurora and Beauty. Prolific and rarely have problems with pests and disease. It took up to four years for some shrubs to really start pumping out fruit. We are picking every day now. Plenty to dehydrate and freeze for winter.
What zone are you in?
@@firehorsewoman414 Zone 2b-3 Northwestern Ontario
@@MistyMeadowsPermacultureFarm thanks. Videos got me all excited for these berry bushes and turns out its a northern thing LOL. I am in 7B/8A border in Texas. No honeyberries for me. :(
Fabulous information, appreciated the video.
Can growing in Australia?
I'd love to talk to you, but I'm in US... I need help about pruning & protection from bugs/worms who leave holes in leaves or eat 1/2 berry, leave a the other for us. What do I do that's more organic vs artificial...?
What were the Haskap varieties you didn’t like please?
Thanks for this video! I planted 3 varieties this spring. We will see how they do with the hot weather I get in my climate. As I establish my food forest more I probably will add more varieties. Thanks for the taste and growing profiles!
Mid-Missouri, USA grow zone 6A. I also have Aurora, Borealis, Beauty and Blizzard Haskaps. They are in their 2 production year and really struggle in our 100 degree F weather. Next year, I will install a 40 % sun shade which I think will help them. Thanks for the information. Our blueberries are doing much better than the Haskaps.
Thanks Charles for your helpful comment.Im in eastern Tenn.and wonder how you deal with late frosts with an early bloomer like Aurora and a mid bloomer like Blizzard. I'm higher in elevation than you so probably would have more trouble with late frosts than you? I'm planning on going with B.beauty and B .Blizzard asy first attempt at growing haskaps.Wish you happy harvests next year in Missouri!
You forgot to put in the links to this fabulous farm
Great info 👍
Excellent. I planted Auroras. 👍
What did you plant as their companion for pollination?
