Potted Martin Saskatoon Berry
Potted Martin Saskatoon Berry
Available only for pick-up at nursery.
Species: Amelanchier alnifolia
History: Martin was grown by Dieter Martin in Saskatchewan. He selected this variety for its large berries and uniform ripening time.
Why We Grow It: Martin produces deep purple berries that are both flavourful and juicy! The berries are on the larger size and ripen at more or less the same time, making them a good choice for mechanized picking.
