About Boreal Beauty

Blooms in April, with large, sweet-tart fruit in June. Ripens later than other Boreals to extend the season. Stems stay upright even with a load of berries. Boreal Beast is a compatible pollenizer.

About Honeyberry

Yellow flowers in early spring turn into pairs of tangy-sweet tubular blue fruit with crimson flesh. Often compared to blueberries, but with quadruple the level of anthocyanin and triple the antioxidants. Retains flavor fresh, frozen, or dried. Requires two varieties that bloom together for pollenization, planted within 100'. Acclimated to the winters of Russia, Japan, and Canada and accepts a wide range of soil. Protect from rabbits in winter. Also called haskaps, meaning "many fruits on branches," by the Indigenous Ainu people of Hokkaido.
