Honeyberry Plant/bush advice

Hi,does or has anyone grown them? i was thinking of getting some to pop on the allotment maybe ,reviews say they taste nice Thanks x

 

Never heard of them till you came up with it.

Seems like giving them a minus 40C winter could be a problem

But other than that it must be worth a go.

 

Where are you getting them from? I want a few additional fruit types in the garden. What do they taste like?

 

Russia like them @pete
Im not pressing the buy now button until i know more
Ive lost lots of pennies giving plants a go...and failing x

 

They have them on ebay but because you need a few i was thinking of getting these 3

No idea how fast growing they are thou sorry @GYO newbie

 

I read they taste simiar to raspberry or blackberry but dipped in honey @GYO newbie

 

Well if you get a minus 40C winter, I'm guessing any fruit, come summer, must be a bonus, even it it tastes awful.
Most popular fruit is "popular for a reason".
Most strange fruit, even tropical, is "strange for a reason".

They call it an acquired taste, basically means its, its tasteless.

 

My taste buds arnt great at the best of times !They say its a super fruit
Go on then il buy them youve talked me into it x

 

I bought two of these from a garden centre last September I put them in the allotment they are flowering but not had any fruit from them yet

 

Ive just had feed back else where too @Richard360 ,she says hers is a couple of yrs old and the fruit tastes great(she must of got some last summer) so maybe you will be lucky this yr i will prob have to wait til next yr for a small harvest,what soil do they prefer richard do you know ?? Thanks x

 

Sorry joolz I could not tell you what soil they prefer mine have just got what they are given lol

 

I was thinking as they are honey suckle they might benefit from leaf mulch but ive read they dont seem do be fussed which soil
It will at least next yr before i see any fruit but im so loooking forward to it let us know how big your harvest is this yr
