Has anyone grown these before? A super fruit allegedly. I've bought one for Mrs L's gran which luckily isn't until June as the plant was pathetic (Marshalls) so hopefully will put on some decent growth beforehand
We have something called Saskatoon berries which look a lot like blueberries but taste like apples. Is that what your plant would produce? Interesting..
Never heard of them before, a quick google found this which is an interesting read: http://www.johnstoa.com/saskatoon.htm
Will have a read through that tomorrow in the office John! (very busy lol) Am hoping it makes a good jam as well as pie
The trick with these is pruning. When they are first planted, cut them down to about 15cm or so. Then regularly. Within a period of 5 years, it should be a lovely bushy plant around the 2 metre mark. If thats too high, dont worry. They seem to respond well to hard pruning. Which one is it? There are several different ones. Edit: They do make lovely jams and pies. Try a site called "allrecipes" for err...recipes!
Perfect, thank you for that. The plant sent through was barely a twig so might chop it to see how things go
