SIBIRYACHKA

SIBIRYACHKA – a medium-sized shrub with an oval crown up to 1.6 m high and about 1.4 m wide. Arched branches appear, their tips hanging downwards, and mature branches are colored brown with peeling bark. The plant prefers sunny or semi-shaded areas and well-drained soils.

Variety features: high winter hardiness – withstands frosts down to -40 °C, resistant to spring frosts and most pests. Berries are large (mass 1.0–1.4 g), dark purple with a waxy bloom, maintaining a firm attachment to the branch, which reduces the likelihood of damage during harvesting. The taste is sour-sweet and aromatic; tasting score – 4.9 out of five.

The variety is characterized by high yield: up to 3.7 kg per bush and early fruit ripening in mid-June. Thanks to its decorative form and resilience to adverse conditions, the lonicera 'Sibiryachka' is widely used as an element of home territories and park areas, adding a picturesque view to the landscape.
