Bti is a haskap, or blue honeysuckle, discussed in a University of Saskatchewan haskap breeding report. The report does not give Bti its own cultivar profile. It uses Bti as a comparison for Honey Bee in leaf appearance, plant size, fruit shape, mildew resistance, and pollination behavior. [S1]
Bti and Honey Bee are siblings. The source says they do not pollinate each other well, so Bti should not be used as an effective companion pollinator for Honey Bee. [S1]
The fruit is described by comparison only. Bti berries are plump, while Honey Bee berries are more cylindrical. The report also says some new seedlings had berries that looked like Bti berries and bushes that were very similar, so Bti was a recognizable type in field comparisons. [S1]
The plant is similar to Honey Bee in width but shorter. The report says Honey Bee is taller than Bti and similar in width, so the same planting spacing can be used. Bti leaves are also very similar to Honey Bee leaves. [S1]
The main disease note is leaf mildew resistance. The report says Bti, like Honey Bee, has a high level of resistance to leaf mildew in the test plots. No direct cold hardiness zone is given for Bti in these excerpts. Any hardiness claim can only be inferred from its University of Saskatchewan haskap breeding and production context, not from a stated zone rating. [S1]
Several details remain unresolved. The packet gives no direct Bti parentage beyond its sibling relationship with Honey Bee. It gives no release date, Bti-specific breeder name, flavor description, ripening season, or storage and processing assessment. The evidence is useful but mostly comparative, because these pages focus on Honey Bee rather than Bti. [S1]
