Boreal Haskap Collection / 2 plants
Find it on Pg.96 of our 2026 Catalogue
One each of:
8102 Boreal Beauty
8105 Boreal Beast
We are pleased to offer two varieties of Haskap edible honeysuckles. These honeysuckles are extremely hardy and early fruiting. The flower is hardy to -8°C and the fruit is ready to harvest the third week of June. The fruit taste has been described as a combination of blueberries and raspberries and has a "melt in the mouth" texture! Produce a very small seed that is not noticeable when eating. Known for its health benefits in both Europe and Japan for their antioxidant properties, but also for their unique flavour! Haskap has the potential to be a huge commercial crop"“but is ideal for the home gardener too! A naturally low shrub, 4 to 6ft. should require relatively low maintenance. These improved strains have been developed by the University of Saskatchewan! One each of Boreal Beast and Boreal Beauty.
- Will begin bearing fruit in 2-3 years. Birds also love the fruit, so Bird Netting is recommended
Planting Instructions
THESE PLANTS ARE SEEDLING PLUGS SO THEY SHOULD BE TRANSPLANTED DIRECTLY INTO THE GROUND.
They prefer full sun. They like a well drained soil, heavy wet soil should be avoided. Plant at least 1 m (3 ft) apart. Fertilize bi-weekly with Rose & Strawberry fertilizer (10-52-17) and Liquid Seaweed.
HARVEST: This is the first fruit crop to ripen. Berries begin to change colours in early to mid June to early July and are ripe 7 to 10 days later during a normal year. Once they become completely purple, wait a few days for them to fully ripen. A good check for ripeness is to bite one in half. If it is green inside, it is not ripe. When ripe the interior should be red. When unripe, berries are slightly bitter and may have a grass-like flavour or mild astringency.

Received 2 packages dry rooted. Only one has grown. Both planted at the same time. Only one plant has grown
We’re sorry to hear that only one of your two Haskap plants survived. Receiving the plants with dry roots can make it more difficult for them to establish, and we understand how disappointing it is when plants that were planted at the same time have such different results. Please reach out to our customer service team so that we can look into a warranty claim for you.
We’re glad to hear that at least one has established and is growing well. Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback.
I bought something like 10 of these and all but one survived. Bought 9 from another well known PEI company here on the east coast and only 3 survived of theirs. Will be replacing with product from T&T.
We bought four, four died almost immediately, not sure why.
Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your experience with the plants. Please contact our customer service so we can assist you further and find a solution. Thank you for your feedback.
All of my haskap berry bushes sprouted then died.
We’re sorry to hear that your Haskap bushes sprouted but then died. Young plants can sometimes struggle to establish due to transplant stress, inconsistent moisture, poor drainage, heat or other environmental conditions.
It’s certainly disappointing to see them get started and then fail to establish. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
These two plants have just taken off!
Two of the four plants were scraggly and didn’t survive planting, but the other two are doing fine.
The two plants are growing well. I am keeping up with weeding around them and have them fenced off to protect them until they are larger. Very happy with them
one died the other is growing fine !
The haskap rootling were sent at just the right time to avoid damage during delivery. Most happy that i could see green already sprouting on each variety and can't wait to plant & watch them grow ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you T&T!
