Thanks for your quick response.

They are for sale in 'Garden news" on special offer, apparantly the new 'blueberry'... just wondered if anyone had a stock of them yet. Seem extremely hardy.

I have 2 or3 intended for Bonsai of what I raised from seed some years ago as Lonicera coerulea. Never having heard of an edible berry. If you live near you can collect one. They are not suitable for posting , too awkward shaped. and possibly the edulis is a specially selected form. I would not have expected a Honeysuckle to have an ediblke berry, they are usually poisonous., or so I was told as a child when I liked shocking the parents by eating odd berries.The post code is RG27 0NX.

Many thanks for the offer, I live in Oxfordshire.

There are three suppliers listed on the RHS website (www.rhs.org.uk) under Plant Finder and all offer mail order
