Maria; Most of the varieties of haskap I've tasted from the U of S are quite good. Very similar to blueberries. The U of S

selections are quite good. The program at the U of S has a put a lot of time and effort into haskap. The overall fruit program at the university is excellent. Tundra and Borealis are quite good.

Speaking of haskap,  has anyone actually tasted them?  Are they
really that much better then honeyberries?  I'd love to plant a
bunch, but its a little scary just going on the publicity from the
haskap association and the u. of Saskatchewan.  If anyone has tasted
them-- what varieties do people like?
