Wiki Draft

J3 Series is not described as a released haskap cultivar. It was a University of Saskatchewan haskap breeding series tied to Japanese Lonicera caerulea germplasm from Hokkaido and used in 2011 crosses. The report says the J3 series was used most often because Dr. Bors considered that collection site the best germplasm site he visited. [S1]

The material came from sabbatical seed descendants grouped by collection site and used as male parents. The source site was a discontinued provincial Hokkaido breeding program with impressive 30 year old bushes that looked healthy and productive. [S1]

J3 Series was part of the 2011 haskap crossing program. All three crossing groups used Japanese germplasm: Japan x Canada, (Kurile x Russia) x Japan, and Japan x Japan. The broader aim was to combine traits such as larger Japanese fruit with the hardiness and adaptation of Canadian material. The program also tested whether Japan x Japan crosses might show useful vigour or genetic value. [S1]

The report gives no fruit description, ripening season, storage behavior, disease rating, or direct hardiness statement for J3 Series itself. Its cold climate relevance comes from its use in the University of Saskatchewan breeding program, not from a stated zone rating. [S1]

Treat J3 Series as breeding germplasm or a collection site series, not as a named commercial cultivar. It was used as a parent source in crosses, but the report does not give direct parentage for J3 Series itself. [S1]
