I want to buy a Bakcharian giant, but it won't work, since I live in Ukraine. Thank you, I will wait for better times.
Call 935 503 876, we have it, I will help!
I join the discussion. The taste of berries really depends on the soil (acidity, composition), on watering. An example is cucumbers, the same variety, with a different place of growth and untimely watering (the variety is declared - without bitterness), can give out such a fabulous bitter taste! And the variety is not to blame, it was not grown there and in the wrong way ... And I am turning to the owner of the phone number 935 503 876, your answer was a year ago. You wrote that you have honeysuckle Bakcharsky Giant, something I did not find in Kiev. I would like wise advice, and therefore - we need a connection. If the proposal for this variety of honeysuckle is valid, I am waiting for a response to the mail. Thank! BecauseI am writing a letter for the first time and there is no one to ask how it is done, there is little hope for an answer!

Svetlana from AFGHANISTAN ???
The berries are sour, no sweetness. Don't lie, selectors.
This is not true! Depends on the soil! Know the beneficial properties
Not selectors, but breeders, the taste is highly dependent on watering.
The berries are very sweet, I have been growing for 3 years, bears fruit for 2 years
Maybe you got a re-grade? I have a Bakchar giant with excellent sweet berries. And in general, I really like Bakchar varieties. There is also Silginka - also an excellent variety.
