Hey John,
I have had some fall blooming on my honeyberry as well. The fall bloom, although rather sparse may be responsible for my lower spring bloom/fruit production. Moving them to where they have a good northern exposure may make a difference.

This started about 3 years ago and each year the number of blossums increases over the previous year. Last year, I had a single lone fruit on it, implying some tendency to self-fertility.
