Honeyberry

[Chipchopper]

Anybody grown it ?
I've seen some healthy looking specimens of this edible honeysuckle in a garden centre and I'm thinking about growing a bush or two.

I have plenty of wild honeysuckle growing in the woods and hedgerows locally, so I'm thinking these will act as pollinators, providing they are flowering at the same time.

I've never had the chance to taste one but some say the flavor is similar to blueberries, and if thats true, it'l be fine by me.

Have never grown these Chipchopper, but have been told that the fruit is very like blueberries, and that they should be planted in multiples to aid pollination, hope this helps........

Thank you both.
I have indeed gleaned a wealth of info from the internet, some good some not so good, this prompted me to take a closer look at the plant that I bought and I discovered that I had two plants growing in the same pot, which I assume are male and female plants or perhaps different varieties for cross pollination, although there was nothing to say this on planting instruction label ??.
I guess now, I'll have to wait at least to next spring before I can taste a berry though.
