Exposure: Full sun to partial shade. Zone 3.
Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil though it is quite tolerant of a range of soils.
Growth habits: Vigorous, rounded, multiple-stemmed shrub from 6 to 15 feet, depending upon cultural practices. Delightful white flowers in early spring are followed by abundant magenta to blue-black small fruit in July. Tends to form colonies as it ages.
Landscape uses: Shrub, shrub border, foundation plant, orchard.
Edible/Medicinal properties: Saskatoon’s sweet, blueberry-sized blue black fruit is loaded with anthocyanins and other antioxidant compounds on par with blueberry. The fruit is delightful for fresh eating, pie making, and making the finest of preserves. Saskatoons are grown as a commercial orchard crop in western Canada and deserve more widespread use in our region.
