Hi all,
One Green World, http://www.onegreenworld.com//index.php
Sells Honeyberry, Lonicera caerulea var. edulis.

OSU gave this plant a brief trial a few years ago in Columbus, OH. The
plants grew just fine but they bloomed too early for consistent fruit
production--Blue Velvet and Blue Belle's bloom periods did not always
overlap for good pollination.

They might make a good low shrub for forest gardens where consistent fruit
production is not the highest priority.
