Overview

When they ripen in late-spring and early-summer, the blue berries of this edible honeysuckle are covered in a white bloom, while the flesh turns burgundy-red and becomes sweet and tasty. Very rich in vitamin C, they can be eaten fresh or used to make jam. These plants are currently around 2 years old and they generally start to produce fruit when they are 3 - 4 years old. They are self-fertile, however will produce a bigger crop if planted in close proximity to one another.

Care guide

Avoid over-feeding, but each spring apply a balanced fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone. They will also benefit from a generous layer of mulch in autumn. Keep pruning to a minimum for the first three years, but thereafter remove weak or damaged stems and relieve congestion by removing some of the older stems back to their base. The remaining young stems can be lightly pruned to encourage sideshoots. This should be done in early to midsummer, immediately after the harvest.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
