Split open soft, ripe honeyberries with your fingers, and scrape out the pulp into a small bowl. Each fruit has a maximum of 20 light brown seeds. The edible seeds are flat and from 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter each.
Add water to cover, and swirl the bowl around to get the small seeds to settle to the bottom of the bowl. Remove as much of the pulp from the bowl as you can.
Pour the water through a fine-mesh strainer, and pick out the seeds from the remaining pulp.
Fill 3-inch nursery pots with moist potting mix, and sow the fresh seed 1/8 inch under the surface. Keep the potting mix evenly moist until the seeds germinate in three to six weeks.
Thin to the strongest plant in each pot, and keep the pots outdoors in a sunny, protected area.
Mulch around the seedling pots to protect them over the winter.
Amend a site in full sun with composted manure in early spring. Clear and amend enough soil to plant your young honeyberries 4 feet apart as single specimens or 3 feet apart to form a hedge.
Set the plants 1 to 3 inches deeper into the soil than they were in their nursery pots to help establish a deeper root system.
