honeyberry

Water honeyberry plants regularly and often, about once a week in dry conditions and up to every other day during very hot weather, or when there is little rain. When watering, the soil should be thoroughly soaked to a depth of at least 8 inches and it should be allowed to dry slightly in-between for best results. If the soil moisture becomes too dry, the leaves may start to yellow or wilt. Honeyberry plants may also benefit from a deep watering every few months. Avoid over-watering and allow established plants to naturally survive dry periods.

Honeyberry (Lonicera caerulea 'Magadan' BLUE FOREST) is a deciduous shrub that prefers full sun to part shade. It should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day in spring and summer. In winter, it can tolerate partial shade since the plant is dormant. While honeyberry can grown in partial shade, its fruits will be larger and sweeter if it receives more sunlight.

Honeyberry (Lonicera caerulea 'Magadan' Blue Forest) is a shrub that requires minimal pruning. Pruning should be done annually to ensure that the shrub stays a manageable size and shape. It is best to prune in the late winter or early spring before any new growth appears. Prune out any dead, diseased, or damaged stems at the base of the plant. Prune no more than 1-third of the total height or width, as this will keep the shrub healthy and promote better fruit production. Pruning also helps to keep the desirable shape of the shrub and will help to open up the inside of the shrub to encourage air circulation.
