On this Horticulture Day episode of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe talks with horticulturist Randall Vos about this species of honeysuckle that is native to the cold regions of Europe, Asia and North America. The flavor of the fruit is similar to a blueberry with black currant or raspberry overtones, and their cold hardiness and tolerance of shade make them a great cultivar to try in your garden.
Aaron Steil also joins the program to answer listeners' horticulture questions.
Guests:
- Randall Vos, horticulture specialist, ISU Extension and Outreach
- Aaron Steil, consumer horticulture specialist, Iowa State University
