My Joy is a mid-late honeysuckle variety, grown both for dessert use and in garden collections. Bushes grow to a height of 1.2–1.5 m, have straight, non-drooping shoots with a pinkish tint, creating an attractive appearance in the landscape. Berries are large, round-oval in shape, weighing about 0.7–1 g, with a dark blue color and a blue or waxy bloom, making them attractive for consumption. The skin is thin, and the pedicel is medium-sized and green.
The taste of the berry is sweet, without aroma and bitterness, with a slight acidic tint, making it ideal for fresh consumption or making desserts. Fruiting begins as early as 2–3 years after planting, and the yield is 2.3 kg from one bush, providing a sufficient amount of product for household use.
The variety is characterized by high resistance to fungal diseases and frost resistance down to -30 °C. It also demonstrates moderate drought resistance and heat resistance, allowing it to be grown in various climatic conditions. My Joy is a self-pollinating variety, which simplifies the pollination processes and reduces the need for external pollination. Thanks to these characteristics, it is suitable for both professional agriculture and home gardeners looking for a reliable and productive honeysuckle variety.
