Honey Queen features golden-colored fruit with a sweet, honey-like flavor and delicate tropical undertones. The berries are medium to large, ripening over a relatively short period in mid-July. Their high sugar content and attractive color makes them perfect for homemade jams, and jellies. Honey Queen has an upright growth habit, typically reaching a height of 3 to 4 feet. Its compact size makes it perfect for tight urban spaces or even container gardening. While Honey Queen doesn’t require a trellising, providing some form of support is recommended. Prune back spent canes after fruiting to promote healthier new growth and increase the next season’s yields. Honey Queen is disease resistant and hardy in USDA zones 4 through 8.
