A set of two Honeyberry plants: Aurora and Blue Banana.
Honeyberries have a richer, more intense berry flavour than blueberries with a slightly softer texture. This unique flavour is best described as a mix between blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, with a hint of blackcurrant. Some varieties also have subtle notes of strawberry, cherry or even a slight tang of kiwi.
Honeyberries require a pollination partner for the best fruit production - we've chosen these two varieties for great compatibility!
