Nice ring!
I brought home one of the many hot rocks I came across a few years ago up in the gold country. Busted it open and the center was a big ol piece of native copper, pretty cool!

It is the center mass that does have the strong signal on this rock

Haskap Berries, also known as honeyberries, are a type of edible blue honeysuckle fruit. They are native to the northern boreal regions of Asia, Europe, and North America. Haskap berries are known for their elongated, blueberry-like shape and a unique flavor profile that is often described as a mix of raspberry and blueberry with a hint of tartness. They are considered a "superfruit" due to their high levels of antioxidants and vitamins, including vitamin C.

Key Characteristics:

• • Appearance:
    Haskap berries are typically an elongated, cylindrical shape, similar to a small cigar or a mini-cigar, and are a deep blue-purple color when ripe.
    
  • Taste:
    They have a sweet-tart flavor, with many describing it as a blend of blueberry and raspberry.
    
  • Nutritional Value:
    Haskaps are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and other beneficial compounds.
    
  • Plant:
    They grow on a shrub that is part of the honeysuckle family (Lonicera caerulea).
    
  • Ripening:
    Haskaps are known for being one of the first fruits to ripen in the spring, making them an early season crop.
    

Other names for haskap berries include:
Honeyberry, Blue honeysuckle, Edible honeysuckle, Sweet berry honeysuckle, and Swamp fly honeysuckle.

I'm sure you know what a red cup is.
Pick your own filled with Haskaps $10

These berries are demanding a hefty $$$

These berries are demanding a hefty $$$

Do you find them hard to grow? Any tips? I've planted six of them (called Honeyberries here) in the berry patch at various times and only three remain. Two of the others didn't like the winter, and one didn't like the summer. The three that remain are not very happy and have yet to produce a single berry. (For what it's worth, I have similar luck with blueberries, though I know they grow OK elsewhere in this region.)
