A Saskatchewan introduction. - Honeyberries are related to the honeysuckle, but they produce a tasty edible fruit. Fruit can weigh anywhere from 1-2.5 grams each. People say the taste is a cross between a raspberry and a blueberry. Honeyberries require at least two different varieties to pollinate each other. Early bloomers should be planted with another early-mid bloomer. Late bloomers should be planted with another mid-late bloomer. Honeyberries do well in the area but do appreciate being planted in a soil mixed well with peat moss. They also like a bark mulch topping.
