The berries are purple all the way through the inside when they are ripe. This happens at least 2 weeks after they turn completely blue on the outside. They will always have a tangy taste but sweet too. How much sweetness depends on the variety. People pick them before they are ripe all the time and it's too bad because they are missing out on how delicious the berries can be.
Loved watching :) i planted 5 Haskap this year, all different varieties. In zone 5/6 Canada they are ripe now. If I touch them they fall off in my hand, and they are sweetish and really good. To me they taste exactly like a wild huckleberry.
You're picking them to early Haskap fruits obtain almost full size 4 weeks after blooming and begin to turn purple. At 5 weeks old they are fully purple but at 6 or 7 weeks old they are fully ripe and tasty.
They dont seem to produce many berries and look like they are hard to pick they hide under the leaves not like blueberries that grow in clusters and dont hide behind the leaves.Good video Ross, do the goumis grow in bush form or tree form and how big do they get?
honeyberries doesn't require acidic soil as blueberries so they're easier to grow. their berries are a little bit bigger than blueberries. A lot of them have different complex flavors like Ross mentioned. He is very accurate with the description of these berries.
@@ageofempiresriseofrome3666 thanks for explaining this. I purchased a honeyberry a weeks ago thinking it was a blueberry. Also thanks for letting me know about the plan not requiring acidic soil as I was going to treat it same as blueberries. Lol

I'm outside of philly, excited to try some home grown home berries hopefully next year
Boreal as in the boreal forest. Pronounced "Bor-E-al"
Glad you made the comment. It was painful to hear him say it the way he did. LOL!
Ross, Please take note of this comment. This pronunciation undermines your credibility.
Ours had set fruit way before our last frost, but I don't think the berries were really disturbed. Should be ready in a few weeks.
The sweetest ones are the Japanese varieties.
Watch the Wind when you record..
Haskap make great jam! Haskap / Rhubarb was my new favorite last year.
Yeah. I cannot wait for the jam.
Mine were tiny,1/4") , and a pest magnet. Could have been in a bad location, and/ or bad variety I guess.
Like the video, for those interested in haskap honeyberry there is a facebook group you might be interested in also...

They will. These need 4-5 years to be in full production.
The haskap plant takes about five years to mature and produces upwards of ten pounds per plant if looked after properly.
sip, nice video brother 👍👍🇮🇩
Where can you find theses fruit plants?
Think he said HoneyberryUSA.com
Yup. Thank you.
What's the difference between honeyberries and blueberries?
honeyberries doesn't require acidic soil as blueberries so they're easier to grow. their berries are a little bit bigger than blueberries. A lot of them have different complex flavors like Ross mentioned. He is very accurate with the description of these berries.

Quite a bit imo. Honeyberries taste like a kiwi + grapes. Less sweet than blueberries.
