Honey Beast
Of the 50 varieties of honeyberry that I have, this is hands down my favorite tasting berry. Very sweet and the berry is huge. A very complex berry flavor with just a hint of melon aftertaste. I absolutely love this variety.

Some yellowing of leaves. Otherwise healthy looking.
I appreciated the note telling me the plant is going into summer dormancy, with ew leaves expected in fall. Given my zone 5, I am not sure what this means for the timing of when berries actually happen.
