I grew up in Northern Alberta and one of the things I missed the most when I moved to the US in 1967 was the saskatoon berry. I thought that this country didn't have any so I am so glad you published this so I knew to ask for them by their American name of June berry. Thanks.

Juneberries have a little bit of an almond extract flavor in the seeds that really sets them apart from blueberries in my opinion. Some varieties are also more juicy and flavorful than others.

I cannot believe being part Native American and over 50 yrs old and I had NEVER heard of a Juneberry! (Thanks Red Bull) The drink was so delicious I HAD to look it up…. Hmmmm is “Juneberry” a real thing or did they make the name up for this delicious drink, I thought…. Nope, they can’t take the credit lol. Thanks to this vid and seeing the beautiful tree and the blooms…. I can’t wait to buy my house and plant one of these trees!!!

As far back as i can remember, it was an annual tradition for Grandma and Grandpa to go Saskatoon Picking in early summer, just North of Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. I believe that Saskatchewan has the biggest supply of Saskatoons of all the provinces in Canada.They would come back with pails and pails of them. Grandma would make pies, jams and wine. I believe they are called June berries, because that is usually when they are ready for picking. Have a great day lovely lady XXX

This is a really helpful video. I've spent some time looking at what trees to install in my small garden, and the Juneberry is definitely one that I'm going to go for, especially as the berries have such a great nutritional value. It seems to grow fairly quick, which means it will provide good shade for my barrel pond area and being low maintenance is of course a plus, too!

Great video! I wonder if these are some of the berries that grow wild in my back yard? In my case they grow like high bush blueberry. I harvest them to make jam and use them in pancakes. I often wonder why we don't grow more things in the U.S., like runner beans (which are super popular in the U.K. and are beautiful plants with lovely flowers hummingbirds flock to, as well as giving you both green beans and big, meaty dry beans), or hardy kiwi, which apparently are sweeter than the fuzzy kiwi we get in the supermarket. My hardy kiwi are just producing their first fruits this year (in NJ). So we'll see! It just seems like you could grow these all over the country and not have to ship tropical kiwi.

The Juneberry name is an American marketing name to better introduce the berry to new customers, it's easier to pronounce than saskatoon. The name saskatoon is anglicized from the Cree word for the berry, in Plains Cree it is Misakwatomina, small berry on many branches. Hard to pronounce. It became Saskatoon to settlers. There is a city in Saskatchewan named Saskatoon, the location of one of the world's best agricultural schools. There was a Saskatoon joke told on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium when it hosted the Grand Ole Opry, in Tennessee. An American trucker and his swamper get out at a truckstop after a long drive. Once inside he asks a waitress where they are. "Saskatoon, Saskatchewan," she says. The trucker turns to his swamper, "Good God, we drove so far, they don't even speak English here!"
