Lonicera caerulea edulis - edible honey berry honeysuckle

United Kingdom

Where can I get Lonicera caerulea edulis plant from?

I can't seem to find one anywhere in the country, yet they would be ideal to grow in our climate.

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.
