Can honeyberries be grown in a pot, or do they do better inground?
How much spraying is required?
Do these require a trellace to climb?
BEST ANSWER: Mine have not needed one, but they haven't produced berries yet. I planted 6 of them two years ago. 3 of them have died. The other 3 are big and healthy, but have not produced berries yet. I do have them in large tomato cages to support them.

What size is a full grown Honeyberry bush?
BEST ANSWER: However... some haskaps, specifically Berry Blue, can grow to 8' tall and 6' wide. So don't put them in the flower bed next to your house.

Any one tried growing these in zone 2 or in higher mountain areas. We want to try them in an area with only 40 frost free days, average and -50 winter temps.

Be patient
I planted this and its pollinator that came with the 2 plant collection that I ordered in the June of 2014. Both of the plants are well established this spring (2017) and they both had about 10 - 20 blooms. This was the first year they had blooms. Unfortunately we had a late frost and I will not be getting any fruit this year. I have 4 plants in total. I ordered two different collections and they make a nice hedgerow next to my deck. They are only getting sun from morning until early afternoon, but are doing very well.

One type doing well, theother died
The collection included co-pollinators. Unlike trees, where the tag is on the tree, with the bushes, the tag is on the pot, so once it's planted, unless you are super-careful, who knows which is which. The one with the bigger leaves did fine, and is doing fine this year. The one with the tiny leaves arrived looking sickly, and shortly afterwards became dead. The same thing happened with the replacement set; the big leaf one lived, the tiny leafed one didn't. If I could figure which was which, I'd get another variety which would pollinate the big leafed one.

Not worth it
They showed up as very small plants. Even with a lot of TLC, none of them lived.

Grew Well, Have gained size in their second year.
In their first year they took well to the soil. Now in their second year they bloomed lightly and are putting on some serious growth this spring.

honeyberries
the first two plants that I ordered are still thriving but the last two I ordered just up and died. I worked very hard for them to succeed but they ended up dying anyway. I don't think I will be ordering them anymore. But the first two are coming along fine.

Too soon to tell...
Purchased two plants. One bush looks very good, but the other is a little weak. Just purchased last year, so the verdict is out yet on these.

It'll be a while
The plants arrived looking pretty puny. I planted them in full sun, after letting them get used to the air. They did ok and one even had a single blossom. No fruit, of course. They made it through the first winter and look much healthier. I'm hoping for some good growth this year, as they are still only 6-8 inches tall. I believe that they are a long way from producing enough for a single pie.

Dissapointed
This is just my own personal experience but both my plants were not super strong to begin with. After about a week of planting and hoping it was going to grow a small rabbit ate the majority of the plant. I was devasted but didn't give up. I kept the roots and tried to save the plant but the following growth which I saw in one quickly succumbed to the damage. That was the end of them both.. Hopefully this giant moose will prove more resilient. Beware of rabbits getting to these bushes.
