Excellent Flavour and Home Gardener’s Choice:

Borealis is a charming ornamental plant with a compact size, making it a favourite among home gardeners. Its berries are notable for their plump, boxy shape, offering an excellent flavour that is highly appealing.

While Borealis is well-suited for fresh picking, it is less ideal for mechanical processing due to potential bleeding at the stem. The University of Saskatchewan has recognized Borealis as the ideal choice for U-Pick orchards and home gardens, thanks to its exceptional attributes.

Companion Planting for Optimal Growth:

To ensure proper fruit set, Borealis requires an unrelated companion plant. It pairs with Aurora, Indigo Gem, and Honeybee. Most growers are planting at a ratio of 2:1. Research conducted in Quebec on various haskap varieties has shown that yields can be significantly higher when companion plants are placed in the same row for pollination purposes. 

Features of Companion Cultivars:

• Aurora: Known for its superior taste, Aurora has a sweeter profile due to its lower acidity, making it a favourite among growers and consumers alike.
• Honeybee: The best pollenizer for Aurora, ensuring abundant fruit set and excellent crop yields.
• Indigo Gem: Superior form for ornamental and shelterbelts reason.
• Please refer to our compatibility chart on our "favourite links" page for more companion options.
