I Would Like To Plant HASKAP BERRIES (HONEYBERRIES)

Question

I read that it is best to have different varieties to plant together. Where can I purchase 3 different HASKAP BERRIES (HONEYBERRIES) plant varieties? Will the HASKAP BERRIES (HONEYBERRIES) plant cross-pollinate with the blueberry plant? Can I plant the HASKAP BERRIES (HONEYBERRIES) and the blueberry together without it causing a problem to the plants? I’m really interested in getting some of these plants growing. Is there anyone in Maine growing these plants?

Answer 1

Your extension agent should be able to tell you if they are grown in Maine.

To get berries, you need a pollinator of a different cultivar. You can't buy two of the same variety, in other words.

Your blueberries won't cross pollinate because they are in a different species. Plants must be of the same species to cross pollinate.
