Some of you may remember that two years ago i grew some Haskap from seed but had the plants removed by officers from the New Zealand Minstery of Primary Industry,but soon after that it was added to the plant bio-security index which stated that Haskap seed import requirements are at the lowest level, meaning that the seed needs only inspecting on arrival. Because Haskaps performed so well for me and produced fruit in there second year i'm very keen to try my hand again at developing some landrace lines suited to our locations.

Can't offer any this season richardw but should have some to spare next season. My plants are still babies really but, if they're anything like your first attempt a few years ago, they should fruit next season. By the way, our quarantine service have decided in their wisdom that haskaps are now permitted. |

Richard,
I have some big plants from these haskap seeds, unfortunately there was no production this year (drought), but maybe next spring there will be something useful coming out of them?

Richard,
I may have some plants you’d be interested in getting seeds from, and if so I’d be happy to do everything I can to get them to you.
A short story: Several years ago I ran into a lady selling some Haskap starts. She gave me a taste of the Haskap jelly and I was intrigued, so I bought two. She indicated I needed to select one from each “batch” she had available so that they they would more effectively cross-pollinate. I went home and did some internet research on her and found she was a retired Emeritus Professor of ?? from Oregon State University, (our AG college). I found her again the next year and bought two more plants and found out these plants started from Japan, and she believes if she can breed a variety that loves the Oregon Willamette Valley environment, it could be a new crop for farmers here. She believed it would be an easy crop to sell to Japan.
I haven’t paid much attention to them over the last 4 or 5 years, since they don’t actually produce much fruit. If you are interested, just tell me how to collect the seeds, and how to ship them to you, and you can have all I can produce.

I have tiny haskap in their second year this year and they surprisingly had tons of flowers but either no fruit or the birds got them, the birds did a number on my cherry trees this year for the first time. The other possibility is no pollinators around, it was cold and wet when they were in bloom. If I get any fruit next year I'd be happy to send you some seed. They are supposed to be two each of the four latest releases from the U of Sask program,
