Kamchatka berry, varieties Wojtek and Zojka

Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica, also known as honeyberry, is a fruit-bearing plant originating from the northern regions of Asia, mainly Siberia and Kamchatka. It is prized for its tasty, dark blue fruits, which are elongated like blueberries but are somewhat more tart and juicy. The plant is extremely frost-resistant (down to -40°C), making it well-suited for cultivation in colder climates. Kamchatka berry blooms very early, and the fruits ripen in early summer, often before strawberries. The berries are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and other nutrients, making them a healthy addition to the diet. Due to their sweet and tart flavor, Kamchatka berries are excellent for eating fresh or making into jams, juices, or liqueurs. The plant is easy to care for, which makes it popular among gardeners and those growing fruit in home gardens.

They are not only delicious but also rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, and antioxidants, making them a valuable dietary addition. Raspberries prefer fertile, well-drained soil and sunny locations, though they are relatively hardy in various climatic conditions. The shrubs fruit in the summer, and their berries are used fresh or in preserves, desserts, juices, and herbal teas.

Actinidia mini kiwi 'Issai' is a unique variety of miniature kiwi, originating from the species Actinidia arguta, characterized by small, smooth-skinned fruits that can be eaten without peeling. 'Issai' is particularly popular in gardens due to its self-pollination, meaning it doesn't require a second plant to produce fruit. The fruits have a sweet taste, similar to traditional kiwi, but are smaller and more delicate. The plant is quite frost-resistant and grows well in temperate climates, preferring sunny positions and fertile, well-drained soils. The fruits ripen in the fall and are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C.

The fruits of this variety are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, making them a valuable part of the diet. Like other cranberry varieties, 'Willapa Red' thrives best in moist, acidic soils and is mainly used for producing juices, preserves, and dried cranberries.
