Amelanchier x wiegandii, native to Eastern Canada, is a probable natural hybrid of Amelanchier arborea × Amelanchier sanguinea. This Isaac Saskatoon Berry variety has been selected for its compact habit. It grows to a maximum height of 6 ft (1.8m) tall, making hand picking the berries easier. Produces a consistent yield of delicious berries, and is a great addition to orchards or gardens. Many describe the taste of Saskatoon berries as a sweet, nutty almond flavour. The berries, ranging in colour from violet-blue to purple, are high in pectin, and ideal for jam and jelly making. Enjoy showy clusters of white flowers in the spring, and bright red-orange leaves in fall.
