Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica - huge blue berries shrubs arrived!

Edible honeysuckle - Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica bears huge (!), blue berries (up to almost an inch long) and doesn't require acidic soil. Perfect for my edible garden :) I was worried at what condition the plants will arrive, because Poland is hit now with real heat. We have similar temperatures as Spain does right now (BTW congratulations of world championship!)

... it looks they seem to be in perfect condition. No planting now, no no! too hot. We wait until it cools down.

If you want to have berries on Lonicera kamtschatica, there is at least 2 varieties needed. There was promotion and 4 were in almost the price of 2, so I bought: Lonicera kamtschatica "Siniglaska", "Dlinnoplodna", "Woloschebnitza" and "Tschelabinka".
I am so happy to add this wonderful plant to my edible garden - it fruits when young, is very hardy and fruits already in May - late frost is not damaging the flowers.
