Honeysuckle OLIINA 1

Oliina 1 is a variety of honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea L.) with a medium ripening period and universal use for both fresh consumption and industrial processing. The bushes are of medium height and density, with slightly sprawling growth and curved shoots covered with a grayish bloom. The leaves are dark green, matte, with stipules, and the inflorescences are bi-colored – yellow with reddish veins.

The berries of the Oliina 1 variety are of medium size (up to 1 g), have a pear shape, and are often curved like a crescent. The skin is blue, medium thickness, smooth, and sometimes covered with a light bluish-white bloom. The taste is sour-sweet, without bitterness, with a weak aroma. Due to the high content of vitamin C, carotene, and other microelements, the berries have valuable biological properties.

The culture differs in high yield – 54.2 c/ha, winter hardiness, heat tolerance, and drought resistance. The variety is self-incompatible, is well pollinated by other varieties, and shows low susceptibility to diseases and pests. This makes Oliina 1 a reliable choice for gardeners who want to get a stable harvest of quality berries throughout the season.
