Description

Full sun, partial shade, attracts birds, zone 2

Lonicera cae. ‘Boreal Beast’

Pot size: #1, #2

Developed by the University of Sk. Very productive. Exceptionally flavorful medium sized berries have an excellent aftertaste. Ripens in mid-summer. Excellent mildew resistance. Prefers a moist, well-drained soil.

These exciting new haskaps have bigger berries, bigger plants, all with great flavour. They extend the season, with harvest ranging from early July into mid August. Boreal Beast is late maturing with large fruit. Beauty can pollinate both Blizzard and Beast, but Beast and Blizzard will not pollinate each other as their bloom times do not always overlap. Will begin bearing fruit in 2-3 years. Birds also love the fruit, so black netting is recommended.  Hardy to Zone 2. Will grow 5 to 6 feet.

Cross-pollinate with: Boreal Beauty or Boreal Blizzard.
