I was just reading through this thread, and have become quite intrigued. A
quick look and I only found 2 places that sell the plants. Any suggestions
as to where might be the "best" source?

Depending on where I would plant, it would either be 6b (almost but not
quite 6a due to elevation) or 7a/7b interface

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.
