Does anybody have any experience with haskap?
About This Shrub:
* "First Fruit" of the Season
* Extremely Cold Hardy to -48 degrees Celsius
* Blossoms resistant to -8 degrees Celsius
* No Suckering - This is a NON-invasive specie
* Acceptable to Japanese market due to its superior flavor, shape and size
* Early fruiting provides organic opportunities
* Selected for mechanical harvesting
* High level of Antioxidants and Vitamin C
I just ordered three plants, 2 Tundra and one pollinator.

It's a berry but not quite. They call it an edible honeysuckle. I did not even hear of it before I bought it.

Ive never heard of it either. Wikipedia has some good links at the bottom of this page:

Right! I have one in my garden. Is's very early blooming shrub that's ripping in June. Since it blooms in early April there is a risk of frost damage. This year my shrub got a good luck... Everything is OK.
