Product Description

Growing 15-20' tall, this small tree is a great addition to the edible landscape. It has pretty white blooms in the springtime and attractive, dark green foliage in the summer. The leaves deepen to red and orange shades during the fall months. In the summer, it also produces edible, 1/2" round black berries that are tasty and sweet. Also called a serviceberry, the Saskatoon Blueberry produces high yields. While self-pollinating, it produces higher fruit yields when two or more trees are planted together. Saskatoon Blueberry trees are native to the northern regions of North America. They grow best in full sun.
