Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zogman" data-source="post: 175352" data-attributes="member: 328">KDM  Honey Berry?  I had to look it up.The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edyx6q1SQXY" target="_blank">flavor of honeyberries</a> is very hard to describe, so it may be best to just say it's a "mystery berry" flavor, reminding some people of blackberry, cherry and even grape or kiwi. With a very thin skin, the zesty berries melt in your mouth! These healthy berries can be eaten fresh off the bush, or used fresh or frozen in your favorite blueberry recipe.  [h=4][SIZE=+1]  Interesting Features  [/SIZE][/h]     <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>[h=2] *         Cold hardy to -55 F, blossoms withstand 20 F [/h]   <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>[h=2] *         First fruit of spring (early blooming cultivars bear prior to strawberries, late blooming selections bear a few weeks later) [/h]  <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>[h=2] *        Higher level of antioxidants than blueberries [/h]   <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>[h=2] *         Grows in most soils in wide range of pH levels (4.5 - 8.5) though 5-8 is  preferred.
