Hello Naomi,

Haskaps/Honeyberries thrive in a high pH which is all we have out here so 
that shouldn't be a problem for for you.  Blueberries don't like our pH 
either.

I also agree with all the NAFEXers who said that Haskaps are delicious.  I 
haven't managed to collect enough to make jam , but they make a great pie 
when mixed with apples, fabulous smoothies, and muffins in my personal 
experience.  2010 is the year of the bird netting and the hopefully 
experience with jam and other things!
