Honeyberries are Iowa’s low-input response to blueberries, which require a more acidic soil than is naturally found in Iowa. Also known as “haskap,” they tend to have a tart mix of raspberry and blueberry flavor, are good out of hand, dried, freeze-dried, made into jelly and frozen. These berries have been grown in climates north of Iowa for many years, and significant research has been done to develop a number of cultivars. While they are a member of the honeysuckle family there is no evidence that they will “escape” and become a nuisance in wild lands. Still, they are new to this landscape and should be monitored.
