Saskatoons bloom early, making them highly susceptible to early spring frosts. Locations with a gentle slope and good air drainage are ideal for cultivation. Seedling and tissue cultured plant material is available from numerous nurseries throughout the province. Collect the fruit as soon as it ripens, and clean the fruit pulp from the seed. Clean seed can be sown in the fall, and germination will occur in the following spring.
Plant material is collected in early spring when plants are dormant.
Dig out young suckers with as many fine roots as possible. Cut back tops to a height of 5 cm, plant and keep them well watered. The first crop may be expected in about three or four years from planting. Peak production will take another two or three years. 0.6 to 1 m apart and 4 to 6 m apart between rows.
