Honeyberry Siberian

Description

The Siberian Honeyberry, Lonicera caerulea edulis, is part of the Honeysuckle family. Native to Eastern Siberian, this small bush is very hardy and can tolerate temperatures down to -40 C. It produces large elliptical berries that look and taste similar to blueberries. They can be eaten raw or used in jams and are very high in antioxidants and vitamin C. A great addition to your edible fruit plant collection!

Plant in moist, well-drained soil. This plant prefers sandy, loamy and clay soils but it does not like waterlogged soils. As with most fruit and berry plants, the Honeyberry plant does also need a good exposure to sunlight, it does not fruit so well in the shade. Ensure that the soil remains moist but not overly wet, particularly after planting.
