Overview

This suckering shrub is primarily grown for its generous crop of sweet fruits, which appear without the need of a pollination partner, and can be eaten either freshly picked or dried. Saskatoons will also help make a tasty pie or pot of jam - and as they are high in fibre and packed full of nutrients (which are similar to blueberries) - they are good for you too! Like other amelanchiers, its clusters of late spring flowers are pretty, and in autumn the leaves take on great autumn colours before they are shed, but 'Northlineis said to be one of the most generous with its berries.

Care guide

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
