Boreal Blizzard is a University of Saskatchewan haskap selected for very large berries with a full sweet and tart flavour. It belongs to the later Boreal series, extending the harvest beyond the earliest haskaps.
The breeder recorded harvest through the first three weeks of July in 2014. The exact dates change with site and season. Plant it with a compatible haskap such as Boreal Beast for cross pollination.

Growing haskap
Haskaps fruit best in full sun. They prefer well-drained loam or sandy loam, while drained clay can also work. Keep newly planted shrubs evenly moist during establishment without leaving the roots waterlogged.
