Lonicera caerulea 'Borealis'
Lonicera caerulea 'Borealis', also known as 'Borealis' honeyberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright and vigorous habit, recognized for the exceptionally large size of its fruits and its great hardiness. Very well-suited to northern climates, it blooms early in spring with small, creamy white flowers that are resistant to late frosts. From early summer, it produces an abundant harvest of elongated dark blue fruits, among the largest of the honeyberry varieties. Its dense bluish-green foliage makes it an excellent choice for a fruiting hedge or an edible bed. Lonicera caerulea 'Borealis' prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly fertile soil. A compatible variety is required to ensure effective pollination and maximize production.
