These are two of our favorite honeyberries, Aurora and Tundra. Ever since we tried a fresh Aurora Honeyberry during Montana State’s Western Ag. Research Center taste testing, we decided we had to grow it. According to the research (linked here), Aurora consistently produces large berries, are easy to harvest, and demonstrate excellent flavor. Aurora is hardy to below -50F. That said, a friend grows them in the Yukon where they get below -65F! He’s not so sure of the variety but the point is, they’re tough.

Tundra™ Honeyberry meanwhile is a fast-growing, high-yielding cultivar developed at the University of Saskatchewan for its large, early-ripening, very blueberry-like fruit. Must be planted with Aurora for pollination. Hardy to zone 2.

These honeyberries come in Bundle of 4, 3 Aurora and 1 Tundra and most be planted together for pollination.

These honeyberries are both roughly 1 foot tall.
