THIESSEN SASKATOON
The familiar Saskatoon Berry! Tall upright shrub known for its flowering habit and unique fruit. Great for out of hand eating, pies, and preserves.
Fruit Tree: Height 4m (13ft).
Foliage: Dark green, canopy is frequently somewhat open.
Flowers: Showy white born in mid May. This is the first common shrub in the wild to flower.
Fruit: The largest fruit of all the Saskatoon berries.
