Boreal Beast HaskapDespite most Haskap pollinators known to be less flavourful, Boreal Beast stands out with its remarkable taste, beautiful aroma, and delightful aftertaste. Its thick, oval shaped berries average 2 grams and ripen from mid to late July. Plus, its shrubs are very productive, yielding substantial fruit. Shrubs are compact and tidy and begin to produce fruit within 2 years after planting. Boreal Beast was released by the University of Saskatchewan.
