Czech#17, also listed as Berry Blue, is a haskap selection in the University of Saskatchewan Fruit Program collection. The report places it in the program's Lonicera caerulea breeding work and identifies it as highly vigorous germplasm used in many 2010 crosses. [S1]
Its source is listed as the Czech Republic via Jim Gilbert, with a related source abbreviation for Jim Gilbert / Northwoods Nursery in Oregon. The report also lists it as part of the University of Saskatchewan germplasm collection acquired in 1998. [S1]
The fruit was not presented as a quality benchmark. The berries are small, the flavour is OK, and about 25 percent of the fruit tends to drop. [S1]
The plant's main value was vigour. Czech#17 was described as the tallest of the program's Russian germplasm received before 2004. It was grouped with other vigorous parents used to increase plant size and growth in the 2010 crossing program. [S1]
The report does not give a direct hardiness zone for Czech#17. Its cold-climate relevance comes from its role in the Saskatchewan haskap breeding program and its use as parent material in prairie breeding work. [S1]
Czech#17 was treated as breeding germplasm, not as a finished dessert cultivar. The report notes that Magadon and Czech#17 were "far from being wild," suggesting that fewer generations might be needed to recover fruit quality and size than with more primitive vigorous material. [S1]
