Lebedushka is a Russian haskap cultivar in the University of Saskatchewan Fruit Program's Lonicera caerulea breeding collection. The report lists it with Suvenir and Pushkinskaya as one of the program's favourite Russian cultivars for breeding, and says these cultivars were consistently strong in accession evaluations. [S1]
The University of Saskatchewan collection received Lebedushka in 2002 from Dr. M. Plekhanova / Vavilov Institute. [S1] The source does not give its parentage, breeder, release date, or Russian origin beyond that Vavilov Institute listing. [S1]
The available source gives no fruit description specific to Lebedushka. In the wider Russian germplasm discussion, the report says Russian cultivars were valued for even ripening, high productivity, and early fruiting. It also says they often had elongated berries and fruit under one gram, which could hinder sorting and mechanical processing. [S1] These are group observations, not confirmed traits of Lebedushka itself.
The report places Lebedushka in a breeding program that screened seedlings for yield, fruit size, flavour, and bush health. Flavour and health were weighted especially strongly at about three years of age. [S1] Better selections were also tested for mechanical harvest and processing by shaking bushes onto collection surfaces, running berries through a sorting line, and checking damage. [S1]
Hardiness is not stated directly for Lebedushka. Its presence in the Saskatchewan breeding collection and use as Russian germplasm support prairie relevance, but the source gives no zone rating or cultivar-specific winter survival statement. [S1]
In this evidence, Lebedushka is mainly important as breeding germplasm, not as a fully described cultivar for growers. It belongs to the Russian side of the haskap collection used to improve prairie-adapted Lonicera caerulea, especially with Japanese and other accessions selected for larger, rounder fruit. [S1]
