Abstract
The results of a long-term study of varieties and samples of blue honeysuckle Lonicera caerulea L. are presented in the conditions of the Moscow region. The purpose of the work is to identify sources of economically valuable traits. 56 domestic samples of various origins were studied. The most valuable forms for cultivation and further breeding work have been identified, which have large fruit, good fruit taste, lack of tendency to untimely awakening of the kidneys and shedding of fruits during ripening. These characteristics distinguish the varieties of medium-early and medium maturation - Lebedushka, Marina, Kuminovka, Lazurnaya, Moskovskaya 23, Gzhelskaya Early, medium-late and late maturation - Leningrad Giant, Julia, Violet. The Nizhny Novgorod Early variety and the Tatiana sample are the earliest, they are also sources of good fruit taste and are not prone to bud awakening in autumn, but their fruits crumble heavily when ripe.
