Organic honeyberry package with 4 different varieties - 2-liter pots
The honeyberry is a still relatively unknown super-berry that is steadily finding its way into our gardens. Honeyberries resemble striking, elongated blueberries, but their taste is a surprising, rich mix of blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry.
With this organic package, you bring four absolute top performers of the newest generation into your garden: 'Aurora', 'Boreal Beauty', 'Blue Banana', and 'Blue Treasure'. These varieties are known for their extra-large, fleshy, and sugary-sweet berries. Because they are perfectly matched in terms of flowering time, they ensure optimal cross-pollination and an extended harvest period. This way, you can pick the most delicious, healthy honeyberries straight from your own garden, week after week!
Honeyberries are also incredibly easy to grow and are among the very first fruits you can pick in the spring. The bushes are extremely hardy, require very little maintenance, and look beautiful in the garden with their fresh green leaves and cheerful spring blossoms.

Tips and care:
-
Planting: September to March; later is also possible, but keep in mind that you must provide extra water during warm weather because the roots are not yet well established. Grows as an upright bush and does not require support.
-
Pruning: prune if necessary in the autumn or early spring. The plants do not need much pruning in the first few years. If the bush becomes too dense after a few years or the yield decreases, simply thin out some of the oldest branches at the base.
-
Open ground or pots: you can grow all small fruits in pots; the larger the pot, the better they will do. They will always grow better and produce more fruit in open ground.
TIP: Plant these four bushes near each other (1 to 1.5 meters apart) so that bumblebees and honeybees can easily fly from one flower to another. This is guaranteed to result in the largest and juiciest berries!
