Magadon is a haskap in the Lonicera caerulea breeding context of the University of Saskatchewan Fruit Program. It appears in the 2010 crossing work as a vigorous germplasm source considered for improving plant growth in haskap breeding lines. The report groups it with accessions that showed extreme vigour, usually growing 50 to 100 percent faster than most plants in the collection. [S1]
The breeding goal was practical: combine large fruit with larger, faster-growing bushes. This could let plants reach production one or two years earlier and may raise yield by 30 percent or more. Magadon was part of this vigour effort, but it was not used in many crosses because only one plant was available and it had recently been renovated. [S1]
The source does not give a full fruit description for Magadon. It says the vigorous accessions still needed improvement, with smaller than average fruit and poor to okay flavour. In this report, Magadon is more important as breeding material for plant vigour than as a finished dessert cultivar. [S1]
No hardiness zone is stated for Magadon. Its documented context is the University of Saskatchewan haskap breeding program, including 2010 field crossing work in Saskatchewan and related northern Canadian breeding material discussed in the same report. [S1]
The report does not provide Magadon's parentage, release history, breeder, or cultivar origin. This source alone does not support treating it as a parent of named descendants. It only supports its limited use as a vigour source in the 2010 crossing season. [S1]
