Botanical family
Caprifoliaceae
1 plants
The honeysuckle family. Our entry: the honeyberry (May berry). Very early bloomer, very early harvest (often end of May), winter-hardy down to -40 °C. Thorn-free.
Crop rotation
For Caprifoliaceae: rotate the spot every 1-2 years; don't follow with the same family the next year. Legumes (beans, peas) are a safe predecessor in most cases.
Nutrient distribution
How many plants in this family are how hungry for nutrients. Raised-bed soil exhausts quickly after heavy feeders — follow with nitrogen-fixers.
