Aurora Haskap Plants: The #1 Cultivar

•  Most Popular Since 2014
•  Superior Flavour

The University of Saskatchewan introduced Aurora as the ideal pollinizer for Borealis, and since its debut, it has set the standard for commercial haskap cultivation. Aurora has earned its status as one of the most widely planted cultivars worldwide, and it is celebrated for its exceptional commercial attributes, sweeter taste, and higher productivity.

Why Aurora Stands Out:

1. Exceptional Flavour: Known for its superior taste, Aurora has a sweeter profile due to its lower acidity, making it a favourite among growers and consumers alike.
2. High Productivity: With significantly higher yields, Aurora produces large, easily harvestable berries averaging 1.9 grams each. This makes it a top choice for both commercial producers and home gardeners.
3. Disease Resistance: Aurora is highly resistant to common plant diseases, enhancing its appeal as a low-maintenance, high-yield option for those seeking a reliable crop.

Companion Planting for Optimal Growth:

To ensure proper fruit set, Aurora requires an unrelated companion plant. It pairs with Borealis, Indigo Gem, Honeybee, and Boreal Beast. Most growers are planting at a ratio of 2:1, with two Aurora 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.

Features of Companion Cultivars:

• Borealis: Known for its exceptional taste and ornamental beauty, Borealis is slightly less productive but remains a favorite for its overall appeal.
• Honeybee: The best pollenizer for Aurora, ensuring abundant fruit set and excellent crop yields. Superior anthrocyanin content.
• Boreal Beast: With a 4.5 out of 5 on the flavor scale for three consecutive years, Boreal Beast is celebrated for its superior flavour, best aroma, and improved berry retention.

Borealis Haskap Plants

• Excellent Flavour
• Home Gardener Choice
• Compact Size

Excellent Flavour and Home Gardener’s Choice:

Borealis is a charming ornamental plant with a compact size, making it a favourite among home gardeners. Its berries are notable for their plump, boxy shape, offering an excellent flavour that is highly appealing.

While Borealis is well-suited for fresh picking, it is less ideal for mechanical processing due to potential bleeding at the stem. The University of Saskatchewan has recognized Borealis as the ideal choice for U-Pick orchards and home gardens, thanks to its exceptional attributes.
