Haskaps with Dr. Bob Bors

About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Bob Bors discusses Haskaps and their cultivation, culinary uses, and related topics.

In this episode of Propaganda By the Seed, I'm talking with Dr. Bob Bors about Haskaps. Bob spent many years working with this species and selected and named some of the best varieties around. This species of edible Honeysuckle grows widely across the extreme north and is gaining popularity as a crop in many northern climates. We cover their origins, cultivation needs, culinary uses and several other topics. We also take a minor detour into the topic of bush cherries, which Bob also has a lot of experience with. Lots of Bob's articles are currently missing from the USASK website, but you can find many of them archived Here In the Q&A I answer a question about keeping honeybees.
