Lonicera caerulea, known as haskap or honeyberry, is a super hardy zone 2 shrubby honeysuckle that produces tasty cylindrical blue fruits high in vitamin C that taste like a combination of blueberry and raspberry that can be eaten fresh or used for pies, jams, jellies, and other desserts. Blue Hokkaido ('Chistose #6') is a late blooming variety that is very popular in Japan with an upright growth habit and very large, sweet/tart, dark blue berries that are crisp and flavourful. Fragrant, yellow, tubular, spring flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Plant with another late blooming variety for cross pollination. Deer resistant.
