Product Description
Honeyberry ‘Boreal Blizzard’ is a premium cultivar developed by the University of Saskatchewan and launched in 2017. It quickly gained attention for its impressive fruit size, outstanding productivity, and excellent flavour.
The berries are uniquely shaped, broad in the centre with rounded, narrower ends, and offer a delicious balance of sweetness and gentle acidity. The shrub forms an upright, dense framework with a dome-shaped crown, making it both productive and attractive in the garden.
Ideal for planting in sunny, sheltered positions, this honeyberry performs best when grown alongside compatible pollination partners such as Boreal Beast or Honeybee to ensure heavy cropping.
