Yukon is presented here as haskap breeding material, not clearly as a single released cultivar. The source uses both “Yukon series” and “Yukon family.” It places Yukon within University of Saskatchewan work on Lonicera caerulea breeding for greater plant vigour [S1].
In 2010, University of Saskatchewan breeders used Yukon material in many crosses because enough plants were available and the family had shown exceptional early growth [S1]. The report says Yukon seedlings outgrew all other breeding lines in the greenhouse after germination. It also says the Yukon family had the tallest young plants in the field [S1].
The breeding interest was plant habit, not documented fruit quality. The report says Yukon material had earlier been underestimated because small-fruited plants were assumed to trade fruit quality for vegetative growth. But the seedlings were already growing faster before fruit load should have affected performance [S1].
This source gives no direct fruit description, flavor note, ripening season, storage behavior, parentage, release date, or hardiness zone statement for Yukon. In this record, Yukon is important as a vigorous haskap breeding source used during the 2010 crossing season. The program was trying to combine large fruit with larger, faster-growing bushes that could come into production sooner and improve yield [S1].
