What is Haskap?

Haskap, also known as Blue Honeysuckle, is a delightful berry that is hardy enough to flourish in all climates across Canada! It is often described as a stretched Blueberry, but it is so much more than that! Packed with flavor, Haskap has a thin skin, no seeds, and is extremely nutritious. It is simple to care for, and everyone can enjoy the health benefits of this Superfood; straight from their own garden!  

This favor packed berry has only recently become popular in North America, but Haskap has ancient roots and is native to Japan, Russia, and even grows wild in places throughout Canada.

Haskap bushes mature at 4-5 feet in height, and will reach full production within 4 years. 

There are dozens of Haskap varieties around the world, many of which have grown native for hundreds of years! We have access to and supply all public UofS Haskap varieties that have been selected to provide you with fruit that tastes -and looks- amazing!
