Honeyberry 'Taka' (Lonicera caerulea)

Truly tasty fruit in your own backyard! Japanese haskaps are an easy-to-grow, super delicious fruit for everyone. Yellow flowers appear very early in spring and give way to plump blue fruits in early summer. Berries are sweet enough to eat straight from the stems, or can be made into sauce, jam, or desserts. This tough shrub grows well in sun or part shade, and isn’t fussy about soil: any type and even any pH level will do. Haskaps are extremely cold tolerant. Taka will bear fruit without a pollinator, but gets larger and more numerous berries when planted alongside another haskap variety.
