My Borealis Honey-berries are doing fine.(16) I just picked up my pollinators, Berry blue, from a dealer in Edmonton. We have 2 unknown varieties growing here, but we are just not going to chance 1 years wait to find out they are the wrong plants.

Hi this is the third time trying to get on this site First of all
my e-mail address is a valid e-mail I use it all the time. Check with Yahoo if necessary

My reason to get on the site is to find pollinators for my Haskap blue (Tundra) honeysuckle plants looking for a supplier who carries the Borealis.cinderella berry smart belle and the berry blue pollinators

Any information would be appreciated Hoping to hear from someone

can e-mail me at PLANTLADY34#YAHOO.CA

Pat – What varieties are they?

Hi
I planted 2 varietes of honeyberry in 2008. The bushes were about 8″ tall.
They are growing (although slowly) and seem healthy but I have had no blossoms, thus no berries so far.
They are the proper varieties for pollinating, so I don’t know what might be wrong.
They are about 2 and a half feet tall now. Plenty of leaves–no blossoms.
Any ideas?

Jenn, as far as I understand, growing in pots should be just fine.

Hi, my box of plants arrived from vesseys this morning, in it is 9 borealis honeyberry (haskap) plants and 3 polinators – my understanding is there is no male or female but you must have 2 varieties to get polination – at a ratio of 1 polinoator to 5-7 plants and that all will bear fruit. What I hope to learn is if these can be grown in pots? I hope to take them with me in a couple years if I move in a few years. Does anyone know about growing in pots until the plants get a bit larger? The are just a plug with about a 6 ” twig sticking out right now.
THANKS

I’m not sure – what variety did you plant? The University of Saskatchewan honeyberries may be a little tart, but shouldn’t be bitter.

I have a huge honeyberrie tree with lots of berries but they taste very bitter;have I planted the wrong variety?
