Sugar Mountain Blue Honeyberry This is a 'Proven Winners Plant'
Sugar Mountian Honeyberry
Sugar Mountain Blue Honeyberry looks like an oversized, elongated blueberry. They are much easier to grow than blueberries, and they contain far higher levels of antioxidants and three times the amount of vitamin C. Honeyberries are one of the hardiest berry plants, withstanding temperatures down to -50°F.
Sugar Mountain® Blue Honeyberry was specially selected in the Czech Republic for its extra-large, luscious fruits.Honeyberries can be eaten fresh right from the bush, cooked into jam, pressed for juice, or made into sauce or pie filling. The fruits can also be dried or frozen. In 2014 this variety received the GCG's Retailers Choice Award.
You will want to plant another variety of Honeyberry for pollination. Plant them close together, usually within 10' of each other. The flowers that produce the berries appear in early spring before the full army of pollinators have appeared in our area. Planting them close together will give pollinators a better chance of full pollination. Sugar Mountain Blue Honeyberry likes to be
planted in full sun to partial shade.
Sugar Mountain Blue Honeyberry will attract wildlife and birds that like the fruit so you may want
to consider that as the berries are ripening covering them with some bird netting to protect the berries. Honeyberries are not bothered much by deer and will become somewhat drought
tolerant when mature. Consider planting a row of Sugar Mountain Blue Honeyberry as a hedge.
It will grow from 5' to 6' tall and just as wide.
