Blue Molly Honeyberry Lonicera caerulea is a late blooming variety that has blue tear drop shaped fruit that tastes similar to blueberries. Blue Molly is a late season bloomer and needs another late season bloomer to cross pollinate. It has a tart tasting fruit and is not quite as tasty as other varieties and grows to 5-foot high. Blue Molly Honeyberry Lonicera caerulea feature soft, dark green, velvety foliage and bear excellent crops of large, tasty, dark blue berries.
Honeyberry is actually a member of the honeysuckle family. It has several other names like Haskaps and edible blue honeysuckle.
This noninvasive member of the honeysuckle family produces clusters of unique, elongated berries with a high level of antioxidants and a sweet-tart blueberry flavor that is good for fresh eating or making preserves.
It is a bush that grows from 3 to 6 foot depending on variety. The fruit tastes similar to blueberry and on some varieties can be quite tart while it is rather sweet on other varieties. For sweeter fruit wait until the inside changes from green to purple as the skin turns purple long before it is fully sweet. The thing I like about honeyberry is the fruit ripens usually a whole month before blueberry season.
