Testimonial I have worked with Haskap Central, Curtis and Leslie for 7 years. They have been nothing but informative, kind, and patient with me. Having one of the largest orchards in Montana, I have had to lean on Curtis' vast understanding of the cultivar. I have never failed to be impressed with packaging & the quality of the starts I have purchased & received from Haskap Central. My farm, @bigskyhoneyberries is now thriving due to the consistent advice & help from Curtis & Leslie over the years. I couldn't suggest a better provider of high quality healthy haskap starts, who believe in their product & have intimate knowledge of growing. Haskap Central is the premier provider of quality haskap plants & I find their small business to be run by two of the kindest & most genuine people I've worked with. I always direct people in my orbit to Haskap Central.

Boreal Bliss was so named because it represents a breakthrough in flavour. In 2023, experienced growers and retired technician Rick Sawatzky highly praised its flavour, noting it was distinct from other cultivars. I recognized this ‘new’ flavour as largely derived from its wild Canadian parent. Panelists rated it between 4 and 4.5 out of 5, similar to the ratings Boreal Beast received five years earlier, although the panelists were different. The flavour of Boreal Bliss developed about a week after the berries turned blue. In Saskatoon, the blooming and ripening of Boreal Bliss closely aligned with Boreal Beast, placing both in the mid-late category. Blooming occurred in the third week of May, with ripening following in the third week of July. Test crosses showed Boreal Bliss crossed best with both Boreal Beast and Boreal Blizzard. It was not tested with Aurora due to Aurora blooming earlier. The growth habit of Boreal Bliss is upright and somewhat spreading, similar to Aurora and Boreal Beast. Companion Planting for Optimal Growth: To ensure proper fruit set, Boreal Bliss requires an unrelated companion plant. It pairs with Boreal Beast and Boreal Blizzard. Most growers are planting at a ratio of 2:1, with two Boreal Bliss plants for every companion plant. Research conducted in Quebec on various haskap varieties has shown that yields can be significantly higher when companion plants are placed in the same row for pollination purposes. When selecting companions for commercial purposes please feel free to call Curtis to discuss.
