Honeyberry Haskap Live Plants and Cuttings! - Indigo Treat Cultivar

[Late Winter/Early Spring 2026 Nursery Update!]

We are still in the thick of winter here, with 1–2 feet of snow on the ground and single digit nighttime temperatures. While we aim to maintain a fast shipping schedule, our top priority is protecting your plants. We will harvest, process, and ship orders only during windows of mild weather to ensure your cuttings and plants arrive safely. (We cannot wait for temps to go above freezing!)

We can’t wait for the growing season to begin!


We only have well rooted small plants this season, Next year we hope to have a large amount of cuttings for your own propagations! (Remember they are a cold climate berry, If you live in zone 8 or warmer they may struggle!)

Lonicera caerulea ‘Indigo Treat’ (Honeyberry / Haskap)
Indigo Treat is a productive cultivar known for its uniform fruit size and excellent performance in commercial and home orchards alike. Developed for its durability, the berries are firm and hold their shape well during harvest. The fruit has a deep blue color and a flavor profile that leans more toward the "tart" side of sweet-tart, making it an excellent choice for fresh eating or processing into jams and preserves. Indigo Treat is a vigorous grower with a slightly more spreading habit than the Boreal series, typically blooming in the early-to-mid season.

Honeyberries (also called haskaps) are extremely cold-hardy shrubs, capable of surviving temperatures down to USDA Zone 2. They are increasingly popular for their early flowering, early fruit harvest, and flavorful berries.

Plants typically grow to about 5 ft tall and perform best in soils with a neutral pH, though they can tolerate conditions up to pH 7.5. Like most fruiting shrubs, they benefit from soils rich in organic matter.

Honeyberries root readily from cuttings once established. For healthy growth and good fruit production, plan on annual pruning of roughly 20–30% of older growth.

**Standard Cuttings: Typically 1/6-3/8" thick and 4 inches long. These premium cuttings are ideal for reliable propagation. Their larger size allows direct planting into firm ground without tools. The larger size also makes them easy to locate as other plants grow around them later in the season.

**Bulk/Grade B Cuttings: A mix of larger and smaller cuttings, Cost-effective for establishing larger quantities, these are used for our own nursery stock propagation. Smaller 1st year Hardwood and larger 2nd year hardwood can require a little more/time and care to establish.

**Rooted Cuttings: Cuttings rooted in sterile soil, shipped in deep plugs. These grow quickly at this stage. You can see them pictured!

**First-Year Live Plants: Large, well-established first-year plants. These plants are up to 1' tall and develop into semi-mature bushes by the next growing season.
