AKA...Service Berries, Saskatoon's, Shadbush....etc...depending on where you live....they are much like a Blueberry.
I grew up in Western Canada, we called them Saskatoon's and they made great pies...
So I planted a bush a few years ago......Every year the Juneberry bush flowers and sets loads of fruit...
The berries always get an orange fungus on them about the time they get ripe....This year I am planning on spraying the bush with a fungicide and hope to get a little bit of fruit...maybe a pie or a gallon of wine.
I have planted 4 little bushes and have great hopes of someday figuring out the fungus problem and making a nice batch of wine.
Anyone ever made wine with these berries????
