Im bumping this thread, because I just met a very special grower of honeyberries: Duane at seawaycoldhardyberries.com.

I've decided to add haskaps to my collection and searched high and low for nurseries that provide high-quality plants (that are also affordable).

Thanks to a special introduction from @BucksCountyFigs , I connected with Duane at Seaway Coldhardy Berries in NY.

I have already found 2 vatieties locally and so i only wanted to add 1 more variety to my haskap setup. Yet, just a phone call later, I realized that Duane is not just a seller but a grower with a passion and a treasure trove of information on honeyberries - their origins, research, growing habits, and even different ways they are called in different languages! The picture of the haskaps he sent me (to show what plants were being sent my way) was so much better than the ones I was able to obtain locally...that i decided to drive back, return my original purchase, and get all my haskaps from him.

Honestly, if you are in a market for honeyberries, look no further..This is hands down one of the best plant-buying experiences I've ever had.

Which haskap varieties did you end up buying?
 
All Borealis cultivars - B. Blizzard, B. Beast, and B. Beauty - 2x2x2 bushes for optimal pollination, and slightly extended a harvest.

Next year, I hope to add B. Bliss to it as well - Duane said it's largely Canadian in origin (not just russian and japanese), so it would be nice to have a truly native cultivar.

I'm also curious about Aurora and Indigo Gem. But they are earlier blooming varieties, I think... So, i didn't get them because they need to be safe with our famous PA late frosts.
