- Have you ever had the wild edible juneberry? They taste great and are super nutritious. They are indigenous to North America. They have many names including sugarplum, shadbush, shadberry, saskatoon and serviceberry. Here I share some of the info on the nutrition and experience of picking wild Juneberries.
Great shrubs for people living in HOA type neighborhoods who can't have gardens because these shrubs are frequently planted solely for their ornamental value in landscaping. Nobody else would even realize your secretly growing edible berries mwahahaha
hey man cool video, i love these berries, in my language (Okanagan) the word for them is "siya" which is pronounce "see yah".
We moved into our house 2 years ago. This year, I've been getting into plants and noticed the berries growing on the tree in our yard. We had no idea and have never heard of June berries. So far we have picked over 13 pounds!! We even bought the tallest step ladder Menards sold just for the berries. We love them!!!
We have 12 of them in Ohio and they are amazing! They freeze really well. Are great fresh on oatmeal and cereal.
Let them get purple and they are sweeter. People make rhubarb and Saskatoon pie. Yummy.
Mine seem to start looking rotten when the get purple. But normally purple is the way to go.
Some varieties are ripe when they are more red. Seems like the most northern varieties go dark purple.
You just blew my mind with that combination. I gotta try for myself!
If you add some, either fresh or frozen, to a strawberry glaze pie, or lovely.
I planted one next to my deck years ago and have enjoyed the berries ever since. Cedar wax wing birds have a feeding frenzy in the tree, often along with jays and robins. Hundreds of birds swarm the tree. It's really something to see.
I just found out about these and I’m 63. Where were these all my life? My old time garden neighbor has two trees. He said he isn’t sure what they are but when turn dark purple they are crazy good. You are right the deer stand on back legs to reach them and if you are slow at harvesting the birds will eat them all. Thanks for the video and nutritional values this Berry has. I’m going to Grow some.
Are you actually kidding ? We have a lot of it in Stalingrad in Russia 🇷🇺
My "sugar plums" are the sweetest fruit ever. My 2 trees have 2-3 hundred this year. They're green now but will start ripening in a few days. Im gonna try that rhubarb and sugar plum pie.
Do you know the variety of your trees?
Michigan here just ordered 2 cant wait to get them in the ground! Yum.
We picked some in Newfoundland. So delicious. They also call them chuckly berry. Fragrant flavor..sweet.
Ah, that almond flavour at the end would be the cyanide.
?? Poisonous?
😅😅
I’ve had one for 15 years and can’t wait until June every year when they are ripe but I have serious competition with the birds especially the Mockingbirds who are so territorial they actually attack me when I pick the berries… I literally need to wear a hard hat but it’s worth it to get those berries.
We have a ton of these but we have 3 along our field that at the base is about 12 inches in diameter. I never noticed them till this year as I thought they were apple trees but this spring we took the atvs over and took a look. They are huge and beautiful in the early spring, great vid thanks.
I love serviceberries here in western NC. So much that I just planted 8 more bare root plants. My mature cultivated tree has berries that taste much sweeter than blueberries! It must just depend where you are and how much sun they get.
I've learned that they like full sun here. Planted this Saskatoon in 2017 along a forest edge but shady. I was sure it was dead every year. Never grew and looked like death with 1 or 2 leaves . A sick plant. I decided this year (23) to give it a chance. Transplanted into full sun between pear trees in full sun. It has come alive. It's growing now!
I have two A. canadensis, two A. alnifolia, one A. arborea and one A. laevis. I love everything about them!
The ones I’ve had are definitely sweeter than blueberries, especially store bought blueberries which are flavorless. There was one juneberry tree I found growing in the wild that had very big berries that were sweeter than any of the cultivated varieties I’ve tasted. I’d like to return and get some cuttings from it.
1:15 that doesn't get as many because it simply doesn't get as much light under the canopy
I've had my property in Eastern Washington for 12 years and never knew what they were until today. They do taste pretty good! Kind of subtle compared to other berries but good nonetheless.
They grow from Florida to Canada. We don't pick much of them because blueberries are ripening same time.
They pair well with wild blueberries. Great information, thank you!
Saskatoon berries
That is another name for them. Blessings.
@@HealthAndHomestead They grow wild here in northern Alberta. They are starting to ripen now. The season is very short and you have to get them quickly before the birds get them.
Enjoyed the video and appreciated the information.
Would this grow in Texas zone 9?
The USDA says it can be grown all the way up to 8 or 9. So maybe. But it looks like that might be about the end of the range.
Amelanchier could possibly grow in the company of some post oaks, sweetgum or other similar largeish trees that can give it partial shade and keep it cooler, and if given some supplemental watering during the hottest and driest months especially in the first few years, then they might be okay. If you're on clay soil be sure to dig out a very wide/deep hole for it and fill it back in with bagged potting/garden soil/compost mix before planting, as most trees will have a hard time when young and grow much slower if they have to fight through the clay. Keep the base of it well mulched with leaves to help protect the roots from heat and drought stress.
Edit: oh, and if you do, keep them far away from any redcedar trees, the cedar trees can pass cedar apple rust fungus to them which isn't great.
I have a lot of them at my dacha in Stalingrad ( Volgograd) in Russia 🇷🇺
Nice. I didn’t know they grew in Russia. Mine have no fruit this year. God bless.
Oh no! One on ur baaaaaack! 🤣
Wow, Awesome! Thank you so much! Learning something new with every video of yours 😊
Happy to hear that! All the best.
Super information, great share! Keep em coming ✊🏼
Thank you! Will do!
Love June berries!!
I found like 4 of these in a park I walk in. 😁
Good find.
I literally laughed out loud when you had a caterpillar on your back while you were talking about the infestation of caterpillars in your area. Informative and humorous at the same time :)
I know, I actually had two on me but flicked it off just before you saw the video clip. It was perfect timing.
indians are from india ,, native americans are not amerigo vaspucis'
your terms for indigenous people is by far deplorable at best
If you google, “what do native Americans prefer to be called? It turns out one of the two names they evidently want to be called is, “American Indian.” Are you native or American Indian?
@HealthAndHomestead my daughter's are Dine'
For your mislead mind that's ( Navajo )
Each tribe has a name .
Genetically there is no native Amerigo Vespuccis
Type his name in ,, America was named for him
Let me guess 🙄 your a columbust kinda person
@@darkstaroblivion don’t be too hard on him …. His intentions are good .. if his words offend you remember the sounds are irrelevant . It is the intent behind the sounds that carry the real meaning …. When I used to train, salespeople, one of my analogies was this…” A knife is just a knife…. In the hands of a psychopathic murderer, it is a bad thing ….in the hands of a gifted surgeon. It is a good thing. However, the knife is just a knife. “ I send you my very best wishes 😊
