Blueberries should love it up there in the UP, unless you're trying to grow the high bush types. Don't you have the native ones? All the Univ. of Minn. half high cultivars should do fine up there., and of the high bush types:Patriot or Chandler are the best ones to try. You'll have the same problem with birds with saskatoons as you would with blueberries. But saskatoons (or any Amelanchier species) will be more tolerant of varying environments.
Honeyberries are a completely different fruit: a Lonicera species related to Lonicera tatarica which is an invasive in most of the eastern U.S. In Minnesota, Honeyberries are an invasive species.
