Hi John-

            Thanks for the info!

            Although I’ve purchased from probably 6, and have catalogs from 12 online fruit nurseries, I’ve actually done much with “One Green World”.  They certainly do have a lot more Honeyberries (11!) than say Raintree (None), Gurneys (2), or Burnt Ridge.  I’ve ordered a catalog from them now.

            I think I’ll probably go with your advice (seems to make sense, and you’re close to me) about going with the late bloomers.  I’ll probably just get 1 of each of the 4 you mention.  From their online blurb (below), it didn’t seem to conflict with your advice.  It just seemed they were recommending those varieties for that area, but there’s nothing to say they couldn’t also work well in our area too.

            Looking forward to having something else to eat at strawberry time!

Thanks again for the info!

From One Green World:  While Honeyberry can be grown throughout the US, some varieties have proven better adapted to our maritime Northwest growing conditions. The late blooming varieties Blue Velvet™, Blue Moon™, Blue Forest™, and Blue Pacific™ set and ripen significantly more fruit in our region. The other varieties grow well but bloom earlier, after our short and mild winters, and generally set less fruit because of the lack of bees and other insects available for pollination.
