The blueberry-like fruits of this shrub-like honeysuckle relative have a pleasant, sweet taste (with a slight tartness) and are eaten fresh (in a dessert, for example) and (for centuries) processed into jam, juice, sauce or compote: very healthy! The berry is elongated and glaucous blue. The more than 1.5 m high shrub grows best in the sun (to slight shade) in almost any moisture-retaining soil and is not very susceptible to disease.
