Native to the cooler temperate regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, honeyberries are winter-hardy, and can survive temperatures as low as -50 °F. Berries ripen in late spring or early summer, and can be used to make jams, jellies, sauces, and even wine. The name ‘haskap’ comes from the language of the native Ainu people of Japan.

Beware of birds that will eat honeyberries before they are ripe! Netting with mesh smaller than half an inch can be used to protect the berries. Wait 5-10 days after the berries are first blue on the outside to be sure they are fully ripe.
