We have several market gardeners in our area who produce jam from haskaps. It's very good and sells very well.

 

Cheers

Bob Bors visited me 3 weeks ago and he brought a few jars of the U of S developed blue honeysuckle jam. I think it tastes very good. I will check with the others who receive some to get their opinions.

Has anybody grown and tasted these fruits. Years ago I grew some edible honeysuckles and the fruits were few and bad tasting.

Ernest; It's well worth the money to get the U of S haskap material. Bob Bors and the crew have  an excellent fruit program at the University of Saskatchewan. They just released some new apple cultivars as well.

They want $49.42 for five plants.  However $20 min charge is not
included and no price for shipping which may be high.  These are
field grown with big root masses.  Site is not well laid out.  Maybe
there are US charges for certificates.  I can go with $69.42.
