Honeyberry
Want to try something new? Honeyberries, also known as Haskaps, are cold-hardy shrubs that produce early-season, sweet-tart berries rich in antioxidants, very similar in taste to blueberries and perfect for making jams, jellies, or simply eating fresh. They grow 3-5 feet tall and wide, thriving in full sun to partial shade. These fast-growing shrubs have a bushy appearance and provide an earlier harvest than almost any other berry.
