Haskap plants prefer well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, slightly acidic (pH 5.5-7), and moist, but not waterlogged. They can tolerate a wider range of soil types and pH levels than blueberries, including clay and soils with higher pH. To improve soil for Haskap, amend with compost or peat moss and ensure good drainage. Haskaps benefit from regular fertilization, particularly in the spring. Use a balanced fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Avoid applying nitrogen fertilizers late in the season, as it can make plants more susceptible to winter injury.

The "Aurora" Haskap berry variety thrives in full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade. It's recommended to provide 6-8 hours of sunlight for optimal growth. Aurora Haskaps are hardy and can withstand cold temperatures down to -40°C (-40°F).
