Cross-pollination compatibility table – HASKAP
Indigo Gem is a shrub with a drooping habit and beautiful fruits. The size of its fruit is sometimes surprising, beyond what is described. Early to produce succulent and abundant fruit, it will be the first fruit harvested at U-pick.
Its pollination is perfectly compatible with Aurora and Honey Bee cultivars and good with Boreal Blizzard. Although a well timed pollination, the harvest time differs greatly between Indigo Gem and its pollination mates. If a mechanized harvest is planned, pure rows should be considered.

Haskap, an exciting new crop for North America, is particularly well suited for northern areas. Its unique, complex taste is reminiscent of a tasty blend of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.
Its powder blue to dark blue fruits are elongated and grow on a shrub 4 to 5 feet tall at maturity. Cameos have an extremely high antioxidant value (ORAC) with significant amounts of anthocyanins, polyphenols and bioflavanoids :
The qualities that make it a plant of choice for northern cultivation refer to its high resistance to cold for the shrub (-47 degrees Celsius) and for its flowers (-7 degrees Celsius) as well as its ability to remain dormant during a winter mildness.
The camerisier requires cross-pollination to obtain an optimal yield.
