Any idea of when that might be?

Isn't that also a disadvantage, Lon? I was interested in honeyberry 
because it was supposed to fruit so early in the summer, before most 
other fruits became ripe. That seemed to be a really big advantage. 
(However, from what I heard, there were a number of disadvantages - 
"extremely susceptible" to leaf diseases in the Midwest, very quick to 
break dormancy, scanty production, and just OK flavor - so I didn't 
plant any.)

If Haskap bloom months after honeyberries, they probably fruit when I'd 
have an abundance of fruit, already, right?
