Northern Juneberry


This Juneberry grows wild on the shores of Lake Superior in pure sand and is one of the highest yielding wild species. The plant is covered with 3/8" dark purple to black fruit with a bright plum flavor. Fruit quality of this species is very good and makes a very good sauce even without sugar. Dwarf species shrub from 3 to 8 ft. with heavy production of berries covering the top of the plant. Recommended for more northern gardens. Hardiness -40 °F.
