Zarnitsa, also listed with the English alternate name Blue Lightning, is a named haskap or blue honeysuckle germplasm entry in the University of Saskatchewan Fruit Program collection. The report places it in the broader context of Lonicera caerulea improvement, with Russian, Japanese, and Kuril germplasm used in haskap breeding. [S1]
The available record gives only its acquisition context. Zarnitsa appears in a University of Saskatchewan table of germplasm obtained from outside programs and nurseries. It is listed under 2003 acquisitions from Jim Gilbert / Northwoods Nursery, Oregon, USA. [S1]
The available source block gives no fruit description, plant habit, ripening season, flavor, productivity, disease note, parentage, release date, or direct hardiness statement for Zarnitsa. Its presence in the Saskatchewan germplasm collection shows it was relevant to breeding or evaluation work in the University of Saskatchewan haskap program. The record does not say whether it was grown, selected, or recommended in prairie conditions. [S1]
The source places Zarnitsa in a Lonicera caerulea germplasm context. It does not give a finer taxonomic placement, species form, or hybrid background for this named entry. [S1]
