Honeyberry 'Pirika' (Lonicera caerulea)

Try a delicious fruit that you won’t find at the grocery store! Pirika Japanese haskap is a truly tasty berry that just about anyone can grow. Yellow flowers appear in very early spring and develop into luscious blue berries in early summer. No spraying or fussy pruning is required to get a harvest of fruit so tasty, you’ll want to eat it as fast as you can pluck them from the stems. This exceptionally hardy shrub grows well in sun or part shade and doesn’t need any special soil in order to thrive. Plant Pirika haskap within 50′ of another haskap variety to ensure an abundant fruit set. Photo and text courtesy of Proven Winners.
