Description:
Smoky Saskatoon is one of the most popular and widely grown saskatoon varieties, known for its abundant fruit and excellent flavor. In early spring, it produces clusters of white flowers that are followed by a heavy crop of large, blue-purple berries in early summer. The fruit is sweet, juicy, and ideal for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. Its taller, multi-stemmed growth habit makes it well-suited for hedging, shelterbelts, or larger edible landscapes.
Standout Feature:
Heavy yields of sweet, juicy berries on a vigorous, hardy plant.
Interesting Fact:
Smoky Saskatoon is known for producing multiple stems from the base, allowing it to form dense thickets—great for both fruit production and natural screening.
