Discover the Saskatoon 'Smokey', a premier variety of Amelanchier alnifolia, prized for its exceptional fruit production and ornamental beauty. Grown commercially in Canada, 'Smokey' is renowned as the best saskatoon for fruit, offering a delightful addition to both edible and ornamental gardens.

'Smokey' is a versatile small deciduous tree or large shrub with a suckering habit. Its dark green leaves transform into vibrant shades of orange and crimson after a warm summer, providing seasonal interest. In April, it produces clusters of snow-white flowers, which are followed by a heavy crop of large, juicy, deep purplish-red berries in June. These berries boast a lovely flavor and can be enjoyed fresh, baked, or preserved. However, protection from birds is recommended, as they are particularly fond of the berries.

This variety is not only easy to grow but also requires minimal pruning, making it an ideal choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet productive fruit bush. Its attractive appearance also makes it a striking specimen tree for smaller gardens.
