I’ve seen some YouTube videos and my friend thinks they’re much better than blueberry (which I love) so I’m got give then a try. I think they’re self fertile but I’d need to double check

The site's if seen selling them.say you should have two different types that flower the same time for pollination.
I never grew them. I keep thinking about it. But where would I put them.

Can't grow plums at my place.... The Japanese beetles swarm in like locust and completely destroy the trees. Now I just don't grow them anymore. Same thing with beans. Its a bummer. I don't know if they'd go after other stone fruit the same way, I'd like some

I want to add some berries this spring. There are some natives that are supposed to be great

Thanks for the heads up.we get quite a few of them here every June for about a month then they’re gone till next year.

Never heard of Saskatoon berries. Just looked them up, they describe them as mild bluebery flavor with nutty tones. I have a couple of blueberry bushes but my wife and kids aren't too thrilled with them. Not sure I will be keeping them for long. Though, they are still small and haven't produced a lot. Birds seem to love them. I barely harvested anything last year, the birds ate them

Haskaps, on the other hand... oh my... my family is crazy about them. I added two more varieties last summer on their request. They are are much larger than blueberries and much more flavorful. Let them ripen well and they become sweet, with rich flavor and nice acidity to them.

I am not sure if local nurseries have them, they probably do, but I got minr from here:

Are those your finger prints on some of them?

Honeyberry/huskaps are not self-fertile. As I mentioned above, they need a suitable cross-pollinator variety to fruit.

Yep

So it looks like if I want them early my best options might be Aurora and Borealis…. I wonder if that was accidental

It’s interesting that Haskaps are a honeysuckle. ( thus honeyberry)

We have blueberries and we love them. I have heard of honeyberries but they require too many chill hrs for me.

They have some that go as low as zone 7 or 8
But they do need chill hours. They are great for people without full sun yards, as they fruit in part shade.

I am in zone 9a. Partial sun/shade sounds great.

Look around at the different varieties you might be able to find some that are low enough chill hours. We have beast and blizzard but the rare only rated to zone 8.
