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.)

Haskaps I found were pretty bullet proof for survival. Out of 60 plants I only lost 2 in the first season.
They were bare root variety good to zone 2.
These are Boral and the other variety is Blizzard.
Besides the root grow, black earth, peat moss when planting I haven't done anything except water.
The plants were 2 yrs old, and didn't really produce for the 3 yrs.
We got a quart total in 2023 (birds)
last year 26 quarts.

Blueberries I planted 125-3 yr plants.
Lost 100 plants (so far)
Planted in June 2021
A pint of berries last year.
Maybe I can get enough to make a pie this year.
Blueberries love acidic soils 4-5 PH.
Our friend said last night to dump all the coffee grounds around the plants.

Seems like acid rain might be beneficial for blueberries 🤣
The first year after planting it was suggested to nip all the blossoms off the blueberry plants to give it more root strength.
They said it takes 10 years before total maturity.

I am now involved in the Real Estate game. Dumbass realtors.... clueless buyers.... How do some of these people wipe there asses without falling off the toilet ? That's one of the reasons I got my contractors license, to avoid "stupidness" When meeting clients asking for a bid if they were going to be a problem... nope!!!

I know. Goes straight from wet and cold to miserable hot. Whoever is in charge of the weather machine really hates farmers (and gardeners).
