Honeyberry 'Morena' Bush - Lonicera caerulea - 3L Pot
The honeyberry is one of the edible forms of honeysuckle, also known as 'blue honeysuckle'. One of the new super fruits, this fruit has very high levels of vitamin C and antioxidants. Consisting of edible, pillow-shaped, sweet fruits, the honeyberry is delicious eaten fresh, and also used in jams, jellies, yoghurt or ice cream. The plant is a recent addition to England, coming, as it does, from Siberia, which means it should have very few struggles with our climate.
