Honeyberry Plants #859317
Asked February 17, 2024, 12:42 PM EST
I would like to grow honeyberry (Haskap) plants at my ranch at 8600 feet elevation.
Will the honeyberry plants grow well at this elevation?
Conejos County Colorado
Expert Response
Honeyberry should grow in the USDA plant hardiness zones 2-8 (some say 2-7). They grow best in the cooler zones 2-4. All the information I find shows it can grow up to 7,000 feet elevation. I haven't seen anything that shows it growing over 7,000 feet. The following URL from Utah State University has information on growing Honeyberries.

The following URL's are from commercial growers that appears to have good information about growing honeyberries. I am not recommending or sponsoring the companies.
