Saskatoon is an easy plant to build a design around, especially where an upright framework is useful. Come to The Greenhouse Nursery in Logan, UT, to see Saskatoon and talk through landscape ideas. The multi-stemmed framework of Saskatoon creates a relaxed, small-grove effect while the fruit adds practical value. For Saskatoon, a little renewal pruning is more attractive than frequent shearing, which can hide its graceful branching.
