thank you.Edible loniceras are deciduous bushes.In nature it ocured in Kamtschatka, sachalin, japan, korea, just far east ,siberia.Here it seems for them too hot weather,/I am on 50gradus north/they flower in autumn like it is spring, so few flowers frozen, but enough of flowers stay for spring.Maybe in your 45gradus, when you will plant it somewhere in mountines it will grow.some water will help, mainly in first part of the year, but it tolerates drought as well, in spite that roots are in surfice ground.Birds like the fruit as blueberries.Fruit is soft,like raspberries , but very tasty.there are many diferences between hunderds of sorts.Some have even bitter fruit, but edible and very healthy.Japanese call it Haskap
and they not far ago discovered, that now while it is involved to large scale production ,people will live more long and predictions will have to be changed.They are picking fruit by shaking and freez it.Sell frozen fruit.
