Yezberry Honey Bunch® Japanese Haskap

Yezberry Honey Bunch® is a compact, mounded Japanese haskap that produces sweet, elongated blue fruit. Yellow tubular flowers open early in spring, and berries ripen in early summer; Proven Winners recommends planting another Yezberry variety for heavier crops.

Let berries ripen to deep blue and taste them before harvesting; color alone may not mean they are fully sweet. Enjoy the fruit fresh or in preserves. ## Site and pollination Plant in full sun, with afternoon shade in hot climates. Add another Yezberry cultivar to support pollination and fruit production. ## Maintenance This shrub needs little routine pruning. If shaping is needed, prune just after the early-summer harvest.
