Hi John. Welcome!

Can you update your formation to include your city and state or country? That will help us help you. Honeyberrys don't like the heat but there are some that will grow in zone 8 depending upon your winter lows. USDA Hardiness Zones are based on the average annual minimum winter temperatures. That means that Zone 8 has the right number of chilling hours to grow Honeyberry but I suspect if you are in a southern latitude, you will have to provide shade.

Look for plants rated to zone 8 and check what the suggested pollinator is. Hopefully, you can find two that will live in your area. For instance, Blue Velvet and Blue Moon are both hardy to zone 8.

Hope this helps,

Daisy
