Saskatoon
Amelanchier alnifolia
Saskatoons are hardy, multi-stemmed shrubs or small trees celebrated for their early spring white blossoms, edible blue-black berries, and brilliant fall foliage.
About Saskatoon and growing it in Alberta
Native to the Canadian prairies, the Saskatoon thrives in a wide range of soils and tolerates drought once established, making it a resilient choice for shelterbelts, wildlife plantings, and urban landscapes. Its berries attract birds and pollinators while also serving as a nutritious treat for humans. Generally undemanding, but may face issues with powdery mildew or rust under prolonged wet conditions.
