3	entry_pedigree	Lineage type is described as Russian × Japanese; lineage/parents: Solovey × MT46.55.	0.99
3	recommendation_context	Originally intended as a pollinator companion for Borealis, Tundra, and Indigo-gem types, with explicit compatibility noted with Honey Bee and good bloom synchronization with those flowering varieties.	0.97
3	flavor_profile	Grower commentary compares Aurora favorably to earlier haskap introductions, with a sweeter taste and higher perceived flavor quality; lab tests mention normal sugar levels but lower acidity than many other haskap.	0.93
3	productivity	Described as highly productive; trials and grower observations indicate Aurora and Honey Bee are among the most productive in early-blooming/early-ripening groups.	0.95
3	anecdote_snippet	Anecdotal evidence from 2012 Haskap Day growers included the remark, “Ididn’t know Haskap could get that sweet,” referring to Aurora.	0.88
3	entry_hardiness_observation	Supporting text suggests dependable production for colder climates (reported around Zone 5), with possible issues in warmer zones (Zone 6 inconsistently, Zone 7 potentially too warm).	0.58
3	breeder_reference	Trait and description observations are tied to University of Saskatchewan breeding and description work for cultivar release documentation.	0.92
3	source_reference_abbreviation	Trial and breeders’ rights work references University of Saskatchewan and associated propagation/trial material used for plant breeder’s rights description documentation.	0.91
3	description_snippet	Aurora berries/fruiting plant are presented as a distinct cultivar entry with image support (Figure 1) and named-characteristic context in surrounding pages.	0.9
