If you propagate a plant by layering or cuttings, you get exactly the same 
plant, genetically. In the case of honeyberries/haskaps, you get the same old 
plant that was selected for its superior performance in Saskatchewan, Russia, 
or Japan. If your garden is in Saskatchewan, Russia, or Japan, this is good 
news.

When you grow from seed, you get different plants, hopefully a diverse 
assortment, from which you'll be able to select the plants that do best in 
your own garden.
