Thiessen Saskatoon Berry

Known for its early bloom, plentiful fruit over a long harvesting period and strong hardiness (Zone 2), Thiessen is as suitable for British Columbia gardens (including Vancouver Island) as it is for prairies. With its attractive white spring flowers and vivid fall foliage, it gives both edible value and landscape appeal.
