Anyone Grow Haskap Berry ?

[Nyboy]

Last night at garden center I came across a berry bush I never heard of Haskap Borealis Lonicera Caerulea. I kept going back and forth about buying. Label said fertile soil with good drainage. My heavy clay is far from good draining , but some how plant was in my cart at check out. Any feed back on this berry ?

They are known as Haskap in Japan and Canada. For some reason in the USA they are called Honeyberry. I ordered some plants, but the darn catalogs ship "when it's time to plant" so I have no idea when they will get here. They are a member of the honeysuckle family. Dig a big hole, put sand in the bottom, plant the berry plant and fill in with compost.

Smaller, slightly elongated fruit much the same color as a blueberry without the need for acidic soil. I have two varieties (for better pollination?)

Yes, as @Smart Red said, you need to get at least another (variety), @Nyboy !

It is a really interesting fruit, however, so you will want more!

So I was tricked I bought it because I never heard of it. They used Japanese name, I have heard of honey berry. label didn't say anything about needing another variety thanks @PhilaGardener .
