This saskatoon bush grows in a backyard with a southwest exposure in Red Deer, Alberta. It was planted between the garden shed and the fence two years ago. This spring it was covered with blossoms for the first time. Saskatoon berries are native to Alberta. This bush thrives on most soils with plenty of organic matter and prefer slightly acidic soil. They don't like wet roots but need to be watered consistently in order to establish the bush and for plump berries.
