Everything You Need to Know About Haskap

A not-so-brief introduction to haskap (aka honeyberry or haskappu). I discuss such things as taste, growth, pests, harvesting, hardiness, bees and uses among other things.

The haskap bush was originally cultivated by Russians in the Far east and the Ainu people of Hokkaido in northern Japan. Recently, however, the University of Saskatchewan has propagated varieties that exhibit the hardiness of Russian plants and the sweetness and size of Japanese varieties.

An easy crop to grow and harvest, haskap has gained some popularity in North America as a superfood, and has the potential to become a grocery mainstay.
