Growing saskatoon's of the Saskatoon Farm, bountiful harvest in 2010 of this new super fruit and we will hear a lot more about Saskatoon's in the coming years.
I transplanted one this Fall to a sunnier location in my yard. My hopes is that'll help it grow better - faster. I also plan to water it with a little Miracle Grow. Just maybe, one day, I will get to see some beautiful Cedar Waxwings eating some of the berries.
I planted some about 8 years ago but the fruit never get big and berries stay hard. After watching this video I am going to try your suggestion and plant some Northline Saskatoons in the spring of 2023 and see what happens.
Hello, looks really nice with all your berrier. How far apart do you plant your bushes? Do you need to cut them down of they become too high? Have planted some at home but might have planted them too narrow. Cheers
We live in Calgary, have a small back yard, and have 2 smokey saskatoon bushes that produce more than we or the birds can eat. Now we just have to figure out how we can prune them down to a manageable size.
Grows wild where I hang out so I’m glad to hear it’s edible ;) I thought it was a blueberry at first and my friends were horrified when they realized it wasn’t but couldn’t figure out what it was
SaskatoonFarm Where did you acquire that harvesting machine? I have an 8 acre farm and I would like to consider growing these and loved that harvesting machine sir.
Awesome video...I lovVed it...so enchantinG!!!👍A buddy of mine told me that we have some Saskatoon bushes growinG closeby at a golf course and in late July we are gonna go piCk them!!!👍So I am on youtube today trying to figure out how to make an awesome jam for them etc!!!👍Happi SprinG fellow plant lovVer!!!✌🙏😇🌎🌹🌞🌹☕☕☕
do you propagate from seed or cuttings? i am interested in planting these in the woods where they have been cutting down all the trees. i understand they are very hardy and will provide a living mulch where the earth has been scared by development.
I have wild bushes in my yard here in the mountains of BC, I have no idea how to trim them or care for them to get a good yield? All the bushes are short. The land is dry and full of rocks. The plants are very hardy! I’d like to see what I can do to help them along. Can you make a video that might help. Thank you 🙏
this would be Amelanchier alnifolia yes? What is the yield quality and taste of the Amelanchier canadensis? How do you think they both compare?? Is the latter being commercially cultivated as well? Thank you. Great video - yes - Saskatoon berries are totally Awesome!
I wish people would just always include Latin names as well that way there’s no confusion like there is with common names. I can see lightly dentate leaf margins that give amelanchier alnifolia its name, but many of the species have this feature so it’s hard to say definitively. I don’t commonly see Saskatoon used for the genius though, just specifically this species, and I have seen the cultivar ‘Northline’ mentioned here attached to amelanchier alnifolia so I think it’s pretty safe to assume that’s what species it is. I see amelanchier alnifolia, canadensis, and arborea are pretty commonly offered in cultivation, and sometimes but less so-utahensis in the western US. As far as taste goes I don’t have a good answer, I know all species are edible, but it sounds like they are all fairly sweet(similar to blueberries). I have read that alnifolia typically produces the best fruit crop…although I have no idea how much merit this statement has. Sorry if my response is useless after all this time 😂.
@@oscarflip8561 Thanks for your reply. All good - I think you're right and the reference to 'Northline' is the clue... => Amelanchier alnifolia 'Northline' (Alder-leaved serviceberry 'Northline').
My place in Montana has great soil and water, but can be windy in spring and fall. Interested in planting 5 acres. How much would it cost for plant stock.? Is the wind a problem ? I can fence for deer. Thanks
-Great Post Guys ,,,Any Chance Of Yard Production out in the Okanagan Valley???Old prairie Boy Missing The Berry ...and Can We Propagate from cuttings???
where can i order plants in the u.s.? are they like service berrys?i think i already pick this type of wild berry but it goes by a diffrent name,,, thank you for the video
@@HaveYouSeenMyGardens thank you, i have a freezer half full this year they were that plentyfull,, some of the trees broke under the weight,, so i picked what i could,, same with choke and pin cherries
that's a great looking orchard you have there! i've been thinking of planting some saskatoons at my farm out near sundre. what kind of soil is best? does it need good drainage? do they like clay? also, how far apart are your rows? it looks like around 12 feet or so... thanks! c
Would anyone guess whether this is an Amelanchier canadensis or Amelanchier alnifolia or maybe a different variety?? Thank you if anyone could clarify?
Can anyone help me. 🙏 I have a Saskatoon berry bush that needs to be transplanted as we are doing house renovations and it is totally in the way(will get trampled/damaged. I can not find a video that shows how ti transplant and where is a good place to place it. HELP!!
I'm guessing that they barely make a dent in the crop. I live in the southeastern US, and I planted 3 little serviceberry trees ten years ago. When the berries ripen all at once, over a couple weeks in early summer, we can't eat them all, even with the help of all the birds in the neighborhood!
Nope the plants are not dioecious(plants house the male and female flowers on different plants). The flowers are hermaphroditic (having both male and female organs on individual flowers) so with only one plant you will get both flowers and berries. 😊
Picked these wild as a child. I adore them !
Me too! 🤗

Just ordered 100 plants (50 smokey and 50 northline) Can't wait to make pies.

We have these Berrys growing wild here and they are good yo I always wanted to grow a Saskatoon berry bush
Im about to get 5 alemanchier arborea trees to plant in my backyard in North Texas

Hello fellow Canadian grower
Well done video!
I'm going to order a Saskatoon plant and plant it in my families backyard. :)

When do you prune the shrubs?

They used to grow wild on our ranch here in central Alberta but now there's hardly any.
Plant more!
where can i order plants in the u.s.? are they like service berrys?i think i already pick this type of wild berry but it goes by a diffrent name,,, thank you for the video
Yep Juneberry, Serviceberry, Saskatoon, etc. are all in the Amelanchier family
@@HaveYouSeenMyGardens thank you, i have a freezer half full this year they were that plentyfull,, some of the trees broke under the weight,, so i picked what i could,, same with choke and pin cherries
Why aren't any new uploads made on this channel ? We'd love the new updates.
How close together can you plant these Northline Saskatoon plants?
Just planted two bushes this spring.
that's a great looking orchard you have there!
i've been thinking of planting some saskatoons at my farm out near sundre.
what kind of soil is best? does it need good drainage? do they like clay?
also, how far apart are your rows? it looks like around 12 feet or so...
thanks!

How do you keep the birds from getting them? The birds always get mine.
Would anyone guess whether this is an Amelanchier canadensis or Amelanchier alnifolia or maybe a different variety?? Thank you if anyone could clarify?
Bought 6 plants. I'm from Romania. :)
Do you ship rooted cuttings or plants to the US?
Can anyone help me. 🙏 I have a Saskatoon berry bush that needs to be transplanted as we are doing house renovations and it is totally in the way(will get trampled/damaged. I can not find a video that shows how ti transplant and where is a good place to place it. HELP!!
How can I get some Saskatoon berrie raisins?
These grow naturally where I live, I'm just lucky if there is any left to pick.
My favourite berry. Saskatoon pie is superior to blueberry pie, IMO.
Its a slightly tangy blueberry
i am hoping to grow some saskatoons next year, would i be able to email you some questions ?
🏝🏝
Do they work good in Sandy soil? We ranch here in North Dakota?
They grow best in well-drained loamy soil. Sandy soil may need irrigation.
How do you keep the birds from eating a god chunk of the crop?
I'm guessing that they barely make a dent in the crop. I live in the southeastern US, and I planted 3 little serviceberry trees ten years ago. When the berries ripen all at once, over a couple weeks in early summer, we can't eat them all, even with the help of all the birds in the neighborhood!
@@froggydoodle808 Have you drawn any Cedar Waxwings in? Those birds are some berry-eating machines.
Do I need two plants for production
Nope the plants are not dioecious(plants house the male and female flowers on different plants). The flowers are hermaphroditic (having both male and female organs on individual flowers) so with only one plant you will get both flowers and berries. 😊
What zone do they grow in
Commonly listed as zones 2-8.
are they fast growing?
In my experience the answer is no.
I get 12 inches growth a year.
It will be good to put this fruit in a WINE AN NAME IT WITH SASSY NAME
These are juneberries
you're a Juneberry
