Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica is an extremely robust shrub that lives a long time and is simple to grow, producing more delicious berries year after year. Its black-blue honeyberries mature in early June, in the first or second year after planting. Honeyberries are a unique fruit to add to your five-a-day diet. These sugary blueberry-like fruits have been eaten for centuries in their native Siberia! They can be eaten directly from the bush or baked into jams, pies, and muffins. The sweet flavour is similar to blueberries, with a subtle honey aftertaste. They're also full of antioxidants, which are great for you. Height and spread: 1.8m (6'). Spread: 1.5m (5')
