Saskatoon
fruit growing is a new age health product. Although it has been around
for ages, its value as healthy fruit is only just being realised. The
Saskatoon is a large fruiting variety of the shrub, (or small tree ),
Amelanchier alnifolia. Another Amelanchier, A. canadensis ( the snowy
mespilus ), grows extremely well all over the UK. |

Early
results indicate there may be potential for growing Saskatoons in the
UK. In
Canadian tests they proved to be as good as if not better than Blueberries
as a super rich health food. They look and taste very similar to blueberries,
but are far easier to grow. |
