Pushkinskaya is a Russian haskap, or blue honeysuckle, in the University of Saskatchewan Fruit Program's Lonicera caerulea germplasm collection [S1]. The report lists it with Lebedushka and Suvenir as one of the program's favourite Russian cultivars for breeding [S1].
The University of Saskatchewan collection acquired Pushkinskaya in 2002 from Dr. M. Plekhanova and the Vavilov Institute [S1]. The report does not give its original breeder, release date, parentage, or a fruit description for Pushkinskaya [S1].
In this source, Pushkinskaya matters as breeding material, not as a finished prairie cultivar profile. The program rated it highly and used it as a preferred Russian parent [S1]. The same report says Russian cultivars as a group had even ripening, high productivity, and early fruiting [S1].
The report also notes limits in the Russian group. Among 21 Russian cultivars, none was considered ideal for mechanized harvesting and processing [S1]. Common problems included long berries that did not roll well on the sorting table and fruit often weighing less than a gram, which could catch on the sorting line belt [S1]. The report suggested improving these traits by crossing Russian material with superior Japanese or Kuril accessions selected for larger, rounder fruit [S1].
No direct hardiness zone is stated for Pushkinskaya. Its prairie relevance comes from its role in the University of Saskatchewan haskap breeding program and its evaluation in a Saskatchewan collection focused on prairie production, fruit quality, and mechanical harvest [S1].
The available source places Pushkinskaya in Russian Lonicera caerulea germplasm. It should not be treated as a University of Saskatchewan release. The report does not identify direct parentage or descendants for this cultivar [S1].
