Last year I planted an aurora and indigo gem haskap... i thought both were dead but one revived itself. Trouble is I dont know which so I dont know which i need to replace/find a new pollinator for. Is there any way to identify which plant this is?

I think that's going to be difficult Aj! My suggestion would be to source a third variety that would pollinate either. Maybe lovehoneyberries may help?

Thanks! I sent them an email:-) i may just may another of each and have three plants instead of 2.... not that my surviving one looks entirely healthy in any case. I thought it would have gotten much bigger last year...
