The Siberian Honeyberry, Lonicera caerulea edulis is part of the Honeysuckle family. Native to Eastern Siberian, this small bush is very hardy and can tolerate temperatures down to -40 C. It produces large elliptical berries that look and taste similar to blueberries. They can be eaten raw or used in jams and are very high in antioxidants and vitamin C. A great addition to your edible fruit plant collection!
Plant in moist, well-drained soil. This plant prefers sandy, loamy and clay soils but it does not like waterlogged soils. As with most fruit and berry plants, the Honeyberry plant does also need a good exposure to sunlight, it does not fruit so well in the shade. Ensure that the soil remains moist but not overly wet, particularly after planting.
