Lee #3 Saskatoon

The Lee #3 Saskatoon is known for deliciously flavoured berries that are great for fresh eating and processing. The berries are 1.4 cm (1/2") in size and reach their peak ripeness in early July, giving us an earlier saskatoon harvest and extending our season.

Shrub remains compact and tidy and is great for homeowners with compact yards and for planting in food forests. Begins to produce fruit from three to five years of age.
