do you have more types than beauty,beast and blizzard.? for example aurora? the berries you have there look good . after reading on several pages, as well as getting tips in here, I lean towards aurora. is quite curious about vostorg too. as well as blizzard, beast and beauty.
this is difficult, when you have no idea what they taste like.
I’ve only got those four. I’ve never tried Aurora. They taste pretty similar to blueberries to me.
Yammi🥰 blueberries is really good👍
I need a pollinator for Aurora. For best fresh eating flavor, would you recommend Indigo Gem or Honey Bee?
The color is like blueberries and texture is similar but they don’t taste like blueberries to me. They are not as sweet as blueberries. Some people don’t like them. I grow Honey Bee, Kieko, Aurora. The birds eat all of them if I don’t cover them. They ripen early in the season before blueberries.
honey bee is a more upright bush with bigger berries and is more productive than gem but gems berry is little sweeter. i leave gem and treat for my 18mo. old granddaughter. she loves them and the bushes are the perfect height for her. she’s into my Chippewa blues now.
Thanks so much for the response! If the flavor difference isn’t huge, I may choose Honey Bee as the pollinator just to get bigger berries (from what I hear, Aurora is the real flavor winner, so hopefully Aurora will have me covered in in sweet fresh-eating department!)
