Aurora is a University of Saskatchewan haskap cultivar with large elongated berries and a balanced sweet and tart flavour compared to blueberry, raspberry, and black currant.
Fruit ripens in early summer, often one to two weeks after Tundra or Borealis. Aurora overlaps in bloom with Indigo Gem, Borealis, Tundra, and Honey Bee, which are suitable pollination partners.

More about this plant
Aurora combines an upright, harvest-friendly habit with an early-July Saskatoon ripening reference and lower acidity that can make the fruit seem sweeter. Pollination choice matters: the current practical chart rates Boreal Beast as a good companion, while Boreal Blizzard and Boreal Beauty are poor matches.
