Saskatoon 'Martin'

Saskatoon Martin is an early flowering cultivar that produces large, tasty berries in clusters throughout late June and July. This variety is renowned for its uniform ripening habit, making it a predictable and reliable cropper. Small, white, star-shaped flowers appear in early spring, before making way for the clusters of fruit. In autumn, the leaves turn a glorious shade of yellow, bringing vivid colour interest to the garden.

These saskatoon berries have a sweet flavour that makes them ideal for making preserves, dessert fillings, and smoothies. Also known as serviceberries or juneberries, they are bursting with antioxidants as well as fibre and vitamin C. Be warned that birds also find these delicious berries irresistible, so you may wish to protect them with a net or other covering.

Undemanding and easy to care for, Saskatoon Martin grows into a neat upright shrub. It reaches a maximum height of around 3.5m and makes an excellent feature tree for small gardens, particularly in full bloom.
