Lonicera caerulea (Sweet berry honeysuckle; Blue honeysuckle; Haskep) 39 Field Cropping habit for Honeyberries on the research farm directed by Mihail Coman in Romania. Photo courtesy of Mihail Coman. Short description and history of use Lonicera caerulea, or blue honeysuckle by its common name, is native to Siberia, the north of China and Japan. Russia has taken interest in this plant since the 1950s and they have established a very extensive breeding programme and collection within the Vavilov Institute. Aside from Russia and Eastern Europe, the blue honeysuckle is gaining rapid popularity in Canada and the United States. This bush, reaching 1-2 m in height, depending on the variety, was cultivated first as an ornamental, rather than an edible berry. Its cylindrical, purple coloured fruits are very decorative and so is the foliage. Pagina 48
