Boreal Beauty & Boreal Beast Honeyberry – Lonicera caerulea Live Plants | 2 Variety Pollination Set | 3-Year Gallon Grown Haskap Berry Bushes | Cold Hardy Fruit Shrubs

Grow a productive berry garden with this 2-plant honeyberry pollination set featuring Boreal Beauty and Boreal Beast varieties. These 3-year-old gallon-grown honeyberry plants (Lonicera caerulea) are hardy fruiting shrubs prized for their flavorful elongated blue berries and extremely early harvest season.

Also known as haskap or blue honeysuckle, honeyberries produce berries with a unique flavor often compared to blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and subtle hints of kiwi. These nutritious berries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, making them perfect for fresh eating, smoothies, jams, desserts, and even homemade wine.

The Boreal Beauty and Boreal Beast varieties are excellent pollination partners, producing reliable fruit yields when planted together. Honeyberries bloom very early in spring and often produce fruit weeks before strawberries, giving gardeners one of the earliest berry harvests of the season.

These plants are currently semi-dormant and will be shipped out of the pot with roots wrapped and protected with minimal planting medium for safe transportation. Each plant is gallon-grown and pruned to approximately 14–18 inches tall for shipping.
