Honeysuckle, Blue 'Giant's Heart'

The blueberry-like fruits of this shrub-like honeysuckle relative have a pleasant, sweet taste (with a slight tartness) and are eaten fresh (e.g., in a dessert) and (for centuries) processed into jam, juice, sauce, or compote: very healthy! The berry is elongated and frosty blue. The shrub, over 1.5 m tall, grows best in sun (to slight shade) in almost any moisture-retaining soil and is not very susceptible to disease.
This originally Japanese variety can be harvested from mid-June to mid-July, making it a late variety for a Honeyberry. The berries are sweet and full of flavour.
