Topic: Saskatoons

[Vinlander]

The edible honeysuckle/lonicera is certainly closer to a blueberry than the saskatoon is - but the best variant for both flavour and yield is the L.caerulia kamchatka subspecies - which is much more dwarf than the 'normal' one - mine haven't topped 45cm in about 8 years.

Neither are as productive as blueberries per sq metre but they are both worth growing if you have the space.

Cheers.

I have a couple of catalogues en route from farms that sell the plants, they may have seeds and apparently they grow well from them. If so I will see if I can get some over to you. They do grew wils in Bc I just am not sure where to find them..will ask the local foraging group.
