Growers Guide

The following information offers an introduction to the planning, planting, management, and harvesting of your Haskap crop, whether for a commercial scale operation or a home garden.

We welcome you to contact us with any questions or for more information.

Phytocultures in is an active process of trialling new varieties and production management techniques on our test site location in Clyde River, P.E.I. We are sharing our observations and results to other growers interested in Haskap production. Results and production experiences may vary for other management practices and locations.

If you have additional questions our team is happy to provide advice and support based on our own trials and research plots and in collaboration with our partners across North America.
