Calipso

The Calypso honeysuckle variety is a medium-sized, sprawling bush with a weeping crown form. The fruits of this variety are large, cylindrical, weighing about 1.3 grams and up to 2 grams. They have an attractive purple-blue color with a characteristic waxy bloom, giving the berries an aesthetic appearance. The variety is characterized by an early ripening period, allowing for a harvest in early summer.

The berries have a sweet-and-sour taste with a slight bitterness and a pronounced aroma, making them versatile for various uses. The fruits do not fall off, have good transportability, and are resistant to pests and diseases. Calypso is self-sterile, so for successful pollination, it is recommended to plant other simultaneously flowering honeysuckle varieties nearby.

The plant differs in medium drought tolerance and winter hardiness, allowing it to be grown in various climatic conditions. The yield per bush is about 3 kg. Due to its characteristics and taste qualities, the Calypso variety is an excellent choice for gardeners who want an early and quality harvest of honeysuckle.
