Amelanchier alnifolia 'Isaac', or 'Isaac' Saskatoon Berry, is a fruit cultivar selected in Quebec for its superior productivity and proven hardiness. Its well-branched bushy habit and abundant white spring blossoms announce an early harvest of small, sweet, purple-blue berries, perfect for eating fresh or processing. Its bright green foliage turns to warm hues in the fall, adding decorative interest to landscapes. Ideal for fruit hedges, light understory plantings, or edible gardens, 'Isaac' is valued for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and ability to enrich gardens by offering both food and natural beauty, in a format perfectly suited to Quebec conditions.
