Borealis Honeyberry

The Borealis Honeyberry is quick to bear delicious fruit. Fragrant white flowers quickly give way to sweet and tart, plump berries with a taste similar to blueberries. Harvest about two weeks before strawberries. Eat them fresh, freeze them, or make a batch of luxurious preserves or fruit liqueur.

Honeyberry plants are densely foliated and have a nice upright growth habit. Cold-hardy. Can take temperatures of up to -50ºF and are a favorite in regions where the cold prohibits many fruiting plants. Borealis Honeyberries ripen in late May.

The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.

We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
