Honeysuckle USSULGA

Why Ussulga sets the standard for the fresh market

The Ussulga honeysuckle variety, developed by the experts at OGUP 'Bakcharskoye', firmly holds a niche as a premium product for fresh consumption. Unlike many older varieties that suffer from bitterness or excessive astringency, this variety focuses on a dessert-like flavor profile. Consumers prize it for its sugar balance, which allows the berry to successfully compete with garden blueberries.

Agronomic potential and durability

The main argument for the agronomist is stability. A yield of 4.0–5.0 kg per bush places Ussulga among the leaders in productivity within the Bakchar selection line. At the same time, the bush maintains high resistance to adverse factors:

• Climatic adaptability: Cold hardiness down to -35 °C allows the variety to be cultivated in regions with severe winters without the risk of flower bud freezing.
• Harvesting efficiency: The berries are large and firm, which is critical for the fresh market. A tough skin ensures excellent transportability — the berry does not leak and maintains its market appearance during storage.
• Resistance to shedding: One of the variety's strong points is its low fruit shedding rate after ripening, which allows the farmer flexibility in harvesting schedules without losing marketable yield.

Who is this variety for?

Ussulga is ideal for commercial farms focused on direct sales to end consumers or supply to retail chains. If your goal is to meet the demand for early vitamin-rich produce with high flavor quality, this variety from 'Bakcharskoye' will become a key asset for your berry operation. It is a choice for the professional who prioritizes fruit quality over mere volume.
