Move Over Blueberries: A New Fruit for the Northern Gardener

Bob Bors talks about haskap, a.k.a. honeyberry, a very cold-tolerant fruit

Haskap is a Fruit for Northern Gardens

In this replay of a 2019 interview, we chat with Bob Bors, head of the fruit breeding program at the University of Saskatchewan.

We talk about:

• Breeding haskap (a.k.a. honeyberry) fruit

• Cold-tolerance of haskap

• How to care for haskap

• How to prune haskap

• Cold-tolerant cherry varieties from University of Saskatchewan

Growing Fruit in Northern Gardens

Bors is also the co-author of an excellent book: Growing Fruit in Northern Gardens. The book is not currently in print—but it’s well worth hunting for a used copy.
