Variety description

The Saskatoon berry 'Martin' is a very common variety in commercial cultivation. It is originally a chance seedling of 'Thiessen'. Like 'Thiessen', 'Martin' is considered the most large-fruited of all Saskatoon berry varieties. The rather uniform ripeness is an advantage in commercial cultivation. The variety 'Martin' is also the earliest flowering of all Saskatoon berries. In areas prone to late frost, however, it may make sense to use 'Saskalate'.
Like all Saskatoon berries, the Saskatoon berry 'Martin' grows as a tightly upright, small-leaved shrub. The cultivar 'Martin' reaches a height of 2-4 metres. Saskatoon berries are mainly used for wild hedges, but are also very attractive as specimen trees, especially in the flowering season. Saskatoon berries, botanically called Amelanchier alnifolia, originate from North America and are completely hardy.
