How about a tasty berry you can't find in the grocery store but can grow in your own yard? Yezberry Maxie Haskap Berry will surprise you with its luscious fruit that tastes like a perfect cross between a blueberry and a raspberry. Even better – the plant is easy to grow and can handle cold down to zone 3 (and heat through zone 7). Deer should ignore Haskap and the shrub reaches 5 to 6 feet tall, so it is a versatile, attractive and productive plant for nearly any landscape.

Yezberry Maxie Haskap Berry leaves drop in winter but new leaves and yellow flowers appear in spring. Haskap can be the first plant to bloom in many spring gardens. By summer, purplish-blue berries appear with no real pruning or fussy care. You can plant Haskap in nearly any type of soil and in full or part sun and still get yummy berries. The soft green leaves fill the shrub in a mounded form, so it is attractive even when not flowering.

Yezberry Maxie Haskap Berry Care

The only thing you need to do is plant two varieties of Yezberry Haskap in your yard for best fruiting (on both plants!) They can be 50 feet apart or less to pollinate one another. The shrub is so pretty that many homeowners choose to plant several as a hedge to ensure plenty of interaction. Yezberry Maxie Haskap needs average watering and no other special attention once it's established. Haskaps need little pruning, but if you want to shape the plants, wait until after you're harvested the fruit.

Yezberry Maxie Haskap Berry Spacing

For a hedge or mass planting of Yezberry Maxie Haskap Berry shrubs, remember to consider their full, mature size of nearly 6 feet high and wide. Space the plants 5 to 6 feet apart from one center to another.

Interesting Facts - Yezberry Japanese haskaps are closely related to best-selling Sugar Mountain Sweet Berry Honeysuckle. However, the Yezberry series was developed from purely Japanese strains of haskap, while the Sugar Mountain series is of Russian heritage.

Other differences: Yezberry haskaps bloom a bit later, so they're a good choice for areas that get frequent spring frosts. Yezberry fruits are plumper and rounder than Sugar Mountain fruits, but both are equally tasty and heavy-bearing when it comes to harvest time.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
