Blue honeysuckle # 1

This one was collected this spring. As you can see not much roots, but that is no problem

The exfoliating bark hides the nice twin trunk shape of the tree.

New growth is emerging this spring.


Here is the tree in the beginning of August. I have pealed off the outer layers of the bark and separated the two trunks a bit with a wedge. There is a problem with the larger trunk, the upper part is dead and it will look strange to have the thick trunk shorter than the thinner trunk. The problem will be solved in part 2 of the story

Hello Norwegian Wood!

I hope it's okay if I reference your site (including a couple of pics) for our blue honeysuckle growers here in Canada? We are very excited about the commercial grade of berries that we are now producing from haskap and their nutritional properties. Now you give us something to do in the off-season! :)

I look forward to your second installment...

All the best!

Craig

Hi Craig!
Of course it's okay to refrence our blog and use the pics.

Maybe I'll start my own production of blue honeysuckle berrys, if they only weren't so small on the plants I have : -)
