Have you had any fruit from any of these cultivars? The Tundra and Borealis seem like they have fairly large fruit and the Honey Bee pollinator seems to have large fruit also. How would you characterize the taste?

By the way, the grafting manual looks very good.

Nope. You made the right decision!
Just one comment on what I read at the forum listed: Haskaps/Honeyberries are
definitely not seedless. In fact they have larger seeds than blueberries. I
know this for a fact because I have saved seeds from my honeyberries several
times using a household strainer to clean/capture the seeds with no trouble
whereas I had to do all kinds of straining thru paper towel when I save
blueberry seeds a few years ago. Burpee's sells theirs as seedless too.

Well, I probably shouldn't have, but after reading all this and some more, I
ordered a Tundra,
Borealis, and Honey Bee (new U of S pollinator) Haskap (or Honeyberry) from
HoneyberryUSA. Running
out of room to put stuff...

The most productive cultivars at this time are the pure Russian
cultivars, expect 7 kilograms of berries per plant. The cultivars
released from the University of Saskatchewan are hybrids, but less
productive, 4 kilograms of berries per plant.
In order to take softwood cuttings, you would require a license from
the University of Saskatchewan.
2 genetically different cultivars that flower at the same time are
required for the best fruit set.
