This variety of Haskap produces some of the largest berries of any other, averaging 2.8 grams/berry. Some berries from this variety are said to approach 5 grams! The flavor is excellent. The closer to the peak of ripness this berry is harvested, the better the flavor profile.
The Boreal Blizzard is one of two different Boreal varieties we carry. The other one is Boreal Beast. The Boreal series of Haskap are considered late producers; later that most other Haskap, making Boreal Haskaps a great way to extend your Honeyberry season. However, because they are later than most--if not all--others, you will want to have a different Boreal-variety Haskap to ensure adequate cross-pollination. It is recommended to not have a ratio greater that 4-5 of one Boreal variety to 1 of another Boreal variety.
Young potted plants, appoximately 6 - 12 inches in height. Honeyberries tolerate a much wider range of soil acidity than blueberries, up to pH-neutral and even slightly alkaline. Unlike blueberries, minimal site/soil prep--if any--is needed for these plants.

**Edible landscaping: If you're going to landscape your property with plants, shrubs, and trees, why not use those that will provide you and your family with healthy food? **Grow your very own food forest! If you're not familiar with the food forest concept, there are many useful video resources on YouTube the can be found simply using the search term "food forest". Are you big on ambition, but short on space? A highly recommended YouTube channel is "The Gardening Channel with James Prigioni". On his channel, James produces excellent content and demonstrates how an abundance of food can be grown on just a one-ninth acre suburban backyard using food forest principles. Products found at The Berry Booth represent the understory, the shrub layer, the herbaceous layer, the root layer, the ground cover layer, and the vine layer; all the layers of a healthy food forest, except the overstory layer. **Most importantly, have more control over where your food comes from and ensure it's grown using healthy practices, all while loosening Big Ag's grip on our food supply.
