Haskaps for #PollinatorWeek2023

I only just go these haskap shrubs from the greenhouse a few weeks ago, but they came with berries already growing on them, so I got to taste a few this year.

The berries are a lot more sour than I was expecting, but not unpleasantly so. I’ve heard them described in comparison to raspberries and blackberries, but to me they tasted like a larger, more sour version of a saskatoon.

I purchased a few different cultivars to help ensure more berries in the future, and I’ll be doing my best to attract lots of pollinators to the garden too.

What are your favourite plants to attract pollinators to your garden? Have you tried growing haskaps? Let me know in the comments!
