Amelanchier alnifolia ‘Lee#8’

This saskatoon has a fantastic flavour, being a cross between Northline and Thiessen Saskatoon. It has very consistent fruiting and a good yield of large tasty berries that ripen in the middle of July. Shrub remains compact and tidy and is great for homeowners with smaller yards and for planting in food forests. Begins to produce fruit from three to five years of age. Developed by Lloyd Lee of Barrhead, AB.
