Honeyberry Plants

A honeyberry plant is a hardy fruiting shrub that produces elongated blue berries rich in antioxidants. Also known as haskap, it belongs to the honeysuckle family and is grown for its sweet–tart fruit. Honeyberries have a richer, more intense berry flavour than blueberries with a slightly softer texture.

Honeyberries are often described as having flavours similar to blueberry, blackberry, raspberry and blackcurrant. Some varieties also have subtle notes of strawberry, cherry or even a slight tang of kiwi. Their natural sweetness develops fully when ripe, balancing out their refreshing tartness and acidity.

Absolutely! Honeyberries are naturally rich in antioxidants, anthocyanins and vitamin C, making them a nutritious addition to the garden and kitchen. In fact, honeyberries are considered to be even healthier than blueberries because they contain up to 4 times the antioxidants and twice the vitamin C, making them a “superfruit”!

Honeyberries can be eaten fresh, frozen, added to smoothies, baked into desserts or made into jams, sauces and preserves.

Yes – a honeyberry plant can be grown successfully in a large container with good drainage, regular watering, full to partial sun exposure and adequate space for root growth. Most honeyberry plants reach approximately 1.2–2 metres in height and spread, depending on the variety and growing conditions, so factor this into your container choice.

Many honeyberry plants begin producing fruit within two to three years of planting, with harvests increasing as the plant matures. Once they begin producing fruit, honeyberries are typically harvested between May and June, making them one of the earliest fruit crops of the gardening season.
