Blue Velvet is recorded as haskap breeding germplasm in University of Saskatchewan Lonicera caerulea crossing work. The source does not describe its fruit, plant habit, origin, release history, or hardiness. It shows Blue Velvet mainly as a parent in the 2010 haskap breeding program [S1].
The report lists Blue Velvet in Table 14, a crossing table for 2010 work involving vigorous Berry Blue, the Yukon Series, and related germplasm. Blue Velvet appears repeatedly as the seed parent in crosses including Blue Velvet x Yuk8, Blue Velvet x 2-08, Blue Velvet x R11, Blue Velvet x 57-49, Blue Velvet x 97-12, Blue Velvet x 42-45, Blue Velvet x 44-76, Blue Velvet x 6-16-30, and Blue Velvet x 6-15-10 [S1]. It also appears as the pollen parent in 41-83 x Blue Velvet and 444-39 x Blue Velvet [S1].
The source supports a narrow interpretation: Blue Velvet was used repeatedly in planned University of Saskatchewan crosses. The page does not give Blue Velvet's own parentage. It documents later breeding use, not the cultivar's direct ancestry [S1].
No source in this packet gives a fruit description, ripening season, storage behavior, culinary use, disease note, or direct zone rating. Its cold climate relevance is inferred only from its use in a Saskatchewan haskap breeding report, not from a stated hardiness claim [S1].
