Thiessen Saskatoon (Serviceberry) vs Common BlueberryAmelanchier alnifolia Thiessen Vaccinium myrtilloides SOLD OUT NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON 
Thiessen Saskatoon is a deciduous shrub that produces delicious edible fruit. It is one of the most productive saskatoon varieties. Its fruit is great in pies, preserves or eating fresh.
Common Blueberry isn't as large, pretty, or high yielding as the other varieties we carry. But Common Blueberry is our only blueberry that will survive in plant hardiness zones 1A to 2B. So if you happen to live in one of these zones, this is the variety for you. THIESSEN SASKATOON (SERVICEBERRY) QUICK FACTSCOMMON BLUEBERRY QUICK FACTS
