Abstract:
Blue honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea L.) plants from several geographic sources were evaluated.
These included
botanical varieties edulis, kamtchatica, altaica, and boczkarnikovae from Russia, edulis and boczkarnikovae from
northeast China, and emphyllocalyx from Hokkaido, Japan.
It became clear that the Japanese variety emphyllocalyx
has superior adaptability in Oregon.
Therefore, a breeding program utilizing this variety was initiated in 2003 in
Oregon with collaboration in Idaho.
Breeding objectives, breeding methods, variability of important horticultural
traits, and the scope of the program are presented.
Advanced replicated trials of outstanding selections are
underway in expectation of identifying superior individuals to release as cultivars that will form the basis for a
new berry industry in the Northwestern United States.
